When does $axy+byz+czx$ represent all integers?

For which $a,b,c$ does $axy+byz+czx$ represent all integers? In a recent answer, I conjectured that this holds whenever $\gcd(a,b,c)=1$, and I hope someone will know. I also conjectured that $axy+byz+...

A cubic equation, and integers of the form $a^2+32b^2$

I am trying to determine whether there are any integers $x,y,z$ such that $$ 1+2 x+x^2 y+4 y^2+2 z^2 = 0. \quad\quad\quad (1) $$ It is clear that $x$ is odd. We can consider this equation as quadratic ...

How to describe all integer solutions to $x^2+y^2=3z^2+1$?

The question is in the title. Here is a short motivation. The general quadratic Diophantine equation is $$ x^TAx+bx+c=0, $$ where $x$ is a vector of $n$ variables, $A$ is $n \times n$ matrix with ...
