Sep 12, 2016 at 10:06 comment added T. Amdeberhan Vieta can be used to show $f(a,b)\in\mathbb{N}$ implies $f(a,b)$ is a perfect square. I don't know how it applies to prove the above list $(a,b)$ and $(b,a)$ are the only solutions.
Sep 12, 2016 at 6:30 comment added Wojowu @T.Amdeberhan Up to swapping $a$ and $b$ - yes, this can be shown with the Vieta jumping argument.
Sep 12, 2016 at 3:11 comment added T. Amdeberhan Are these the only solutions?
