Painting with Diophantine Equations
Solutions of the Diophantine equations xl + ym = zn have been used for the generation of these pictures. The solutions in the x-y plane can be found as black dots in the pictures. Functions fi(x,y) are assigned to each dot i and combined together. They are forming mountains, to which colorful contour lines have been assigned.
