Abstract
A Pell Fermat equation and its two classes of solutions are discussed. We give a formula for the pairs of positive solutions, written with the Pell numbers, and some new identities involving these numbers. We build an invariant modulo 4 for each class of solutions.

Keywords
Pell numbers, Pell-Lucas numbers, Markoff equation
