Abstract
Using the theory of Pellian equations, we show that the Diophantine equations \(z^2=f(x)^2 \pm f(y)^2\) have infinitely many nontrivial integer solutions (x, y, z) for three classes of polynomials \(f(x)\in {\mathbb {Z}}[x]\) of any degree \(n\ge 2\), which extend the results of He et al. (Bull Aust Math Soc 82(2):187–204, 2010).
