The title alludes to a similar title of the paper [ 3 ] by Grunewald and Segal, in which it is shown how to solve a quadratic equation in integers. This latter procedure seems to be quite difficult, and the algorithm outlined in [ 3 ] is rather involved, although it is completely effective in the logical sense. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification 11D09.
