The definition of congruent number and the birational transformation
between the defined curve and the elliptic curve
E : y2=x(x2-D2)is described here. The criteria for the congruent number was given in Tunell's paper, J. B. Tunell, "A Classical Diophantine Problem and Modular Forms of Weight 3/2", Inventiones mathematicae, 72(1983)323-334.  |

Definition of concordant number
If there exists the solution of following two quadratic forms simultaneously,
