\begin{conjecture} Find linear transformation construction of primitive pythagorean n-tuple tree! % Enter your conjecture in LaTeX % You may change "conjecture" to "question" or "problem" if you prefer. \end{conjecture}

% You may use many features of TeX, such as % arbitrary math (between $...$ and $$...$$) % \begin{theorem}...\end{theorem} environment, also works for question, problem, conjecture, ... % % Our special features: % Links to wikipedia: \Def {mathematics} or \Def[coloring]{Graph_coloring} % General web links: \href [The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences]{http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/} Primitive pythagorean n-tuple is a n-tuple $(a_{1},a_{2},a_{3},...,a_{n})$ such that $a_{1}^2 + a_{2}^2 + a_{3}^2 + ... + a_{n-1}^2 = a_{n}^2$

and the greatest common divisor of $(a_{1},a_{2},a_{3},...,a_{n})$ is 1.

\href [There are at least two known linear transformation construction of primitive pythagorean triple tree!]{http://home.educities.edu.tw/tsihonglau/senior/primitive_pythagorean_triple_ternary_tree.html}

\href [Wikipedia]{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_triple#Parent.2Fchild_relationships}

Is there any other linear transformation construction of primitive pythagorean triple tree?

Moreover, find linear transformation construction of primitive pythagorean n-tuple tree!
