How to solve $5=a+2b$, $3=c+2d$ with $ad-bc = pm 1$?












1












$begingroup$


In 'theory', if we choose a point $(x',y')$ on fundamental lattice it can be 'achieved' by any point $(x,y)$ if $ad-bc = pm 1$ in the system of equations $x'=ax+by$ and $y'=cx+dy$. But how in practice it is done? That is:



1- solving two equations with four unknowns $a,b,c,d in mathbb{Z}$ with one constraint $ad-bc pm 1$ doesn't give a unique matrix?



2- which integers in $5=a.1+b.2$, $3=c.1+d.2$ hold such that $ad-bc = pm 1$?

          $begingroup$

          Solve the two equations individually first.



          $a+2b=5$ gives $a=2n+1, b=2-n.$



          $c+2d=3$ gives $c=2m+1, d=1-n.$



          Now $ad-bc= 3n-5m -1,$ so you have two more linear equations to solve. In each case, you solve them in terms of a parameter $s$ and then substitute back in to the solutions above.



          EDIT



          I'm assuming you know how to solve a linear diophantine equation in $2$ unknowns. If you don't, make a comment, and I'll explain.
