1. INTRODUCTIONThe ternary quadratic diophantine equations (homogeneous and non-homogeneous) offer an unlimited field for research by reason of variety [1-2]. Foran extensive review of various problems one may refer [3-17]. This communication concerns with yet another interesting ternary quadratic equationrepresenting a homogeneous cone z2 = 4x2 + 10y2 for determining its infinitely many non-zero integral solutions. Also a few interesting relations betweenthe solutions and special number patterns are presented. Further three different general forms for generating sequence of integral points based on thegiven point on the considered cone are exhibited.

2. METHOD OF ANALYSISThe Ternary quadratic equation representing homogeneous equation is

To start with, it is seen that (1) is satisfied by the following triples:(3, 4, 14) and (5r2-2s2, 4rs, 10r2+4s2)

However, we have other patterns of solutions which are illustrated as follows.
