Primitives Pythagorean Triples With m and n Both Odd

Authors: Filippo Giordano

The formula with which all the primitive Pythagorean triples are obtained, provided by Euclid around 300 BC, attributes to m, n alternative odd, even values, provided that m and n are coprime, i.e. without common divisors and that m> n. The same formula in cases where m, n, are both odd or both even provides only derived Pythagorean triples. After a specific search I found an alternative form to the algorithm which allows to obtain all the primitive Pythagorean triples a^2+b^2=c^2 by assigning both odd positive integer values to m, n and to obtain primitive Pythagorean triples but with mixed values (integers and decimals ) to a,b,c, assigning to m, n alternative odd, even values.
