Pell Equations: Non-Principal Lagrange Criteria and Central Norms

Voir la notice de l'article provenant de la source Cambridge
We provide a criterion for the central norm to be any value in the simple continued fraction expansion of $\sqrt{D}$ for any non-square integer $D\,>\,1$ . We also provide a simple criterion for the solvability of the Pell equation ${{x}^{2}}\,-\,D{{y}^{2}}\,=\,-1$ in terms of congruence conditions modulo $D$ .
