A note on the squares of the form \prod_{k=1}^n (2k^2+l) with l odd

Abstract: Let

l

be a positive odd integer. Using Cilleruelo's method, we establish an explicit lower bound

N_{l}

depending on

l

such that for all

n g e q N_{l}

,

p r o d_{k = 1}^{n} (2 k^{2} + l)

is not a square. As an application, we determine all values of

n

such that

p r o d_{k = 1}^{n} (2 k^{2} + l)

is a square for certain values of

l

.
