Extensions of $D(4)$-pairs $\{a, ka\}$ with $k\in \{7,8,10,11,12,13\}$

Abstract

We study the extensibility of $D(4)$-pairs $\{a,b\}$, where $b = ka$ and $k \in \{7,8,10,11,12,13\}$. Firstly, we show that it can be extended to a $D(4)$-triple with an element c, which is a member of a family of positive integers depending on a. Then, we prove that such a triple has a unique extension to a $D(4)$-quadruple.
