Markov NumberThe Markov numbers occur in solutions to the Diophantine Equation
and are related to Lagrange Numbers by
The first few solutions are , (1, 1, 2), (1, 2, 5), (1, 5, 13), (2, 5, 29), .... The solutions can bearranged in an infinite tree with two smaller branches on each trunk. It is not known if two different regions can have thesame label. Strangely, the regions adjacent to 1 have alternate Fibonacci Numbers 1, 2, 5, 13, 34,..., and the regions adjacent to 2 have alternate Pell Numbers 1, 5, 29, 169, 985, ....
Let be the number of Triples with , then
