Diophantine Set - Application To Hilbert's Tenth Problem

Application To Hilbert's Tenth Problem

Hilbert's tenth problem asks for a general algorithm deciding the solvability of Diophantine equations. The conjunction of Matiyasevich's theorem with earlier results known collectively as the MRDP theorem implies that a solution to Hilbert's tenth problem is impossible.

    “If you would be a favourite of your king, address yourself to his weaknesses. An application to his reason will seldom prove very successful.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “The receipt to make a speaker, and an applauded one too, is short and easy.—Take of common sense quantum sufficit, add a little application to the rules and orders of the House, throw obvious thoughts in a new light, and make up the whole with a large quantity of purity, correctness, and elegancy of style.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “In his tenth July some instinct
    taught him to arm the waiting wave,
    a giant where its mouth hung open.
    He rode on the lip that buoyed him there
    and buckled him under.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “The general public is easy. You don’t have to answer to anyone; and as long as you follow the rules of your profession, you needn’t worry about the consequences. But the problem with the powerful and rich is that when they are sick, they really want their doctors to cure them.”
    —Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
