Hence, we conclude that all solutions are given by $( x_{0} + \sqrt{d} \cdot y_{0} )^{n}$ for some integer $n$.

### Expressing the solution in terms of continued fractions

We can express the solution in terms of continued fractions. The continued fraction of $\sqrt{d}$ is periodic. Let's assume the continued fraction of $\sqrt{d}$ is $[a_{0}; \overline{a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{r}}]$. The smallest positive solution is given by the convergent $[a_{0}; a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{r}]$ where $r$ is the period of the continued fraction.
