Pythagorean Trios
This article presents a method for obtaining the terms belonging to each and every one of the possible Pythagoreans trios, which are generated by two functional formulas or equations according to their parity (Even or odd). Then we do an analysis of the results. And we conclude with an approach that ensures and establishes the necessary and sufficient conditions for the characterization of all the terms of any primitive Pythagorean trios and its application to the twin primes and Golbachs conjecture. Keywords: methods, criterion, primitive Pythagorean trios, conjectures.
INTRODUCTION
To address this issue is necessary to consider some results that have been obtained and are used by many authors (Rada, 1992) (Joyce D.2005) because of its simplicity, effectiveness and elegance. Such as: all positive primitive solutions of the equation: a2 + b2 = c2, can be expressed as follow: a = m2 - n2, b = 2.mn c = m2 + n2. Where: n and m are arbitrary integers that meet three conditions: To: m> n> 0 When (m, n) = 1 Where: m and n have different parity The solution found by Pythagoras (Espasa, 1998) is as follows: If n is any integer number, the three terms of trios are obtained as follows: The first term is twice the given number plus one: a = 2.n + 1 The second term is twice the square of the given number plus its double: b = + 2.n2+2.n And the third term is equal to the second term plus one: c=2.n2 + 2.n + 1
For the development of this methodological strategy is needed a systematic presentation that establishes a connection within the descriptive analysis in terms of obtaining the goal which has the following order: 1.- Presentation of the method for obtaining all Pythagoreans trios. 2.- Presentation of the generating functional equations or formulas for all terms according to the parity of any possible Pythagorean triple. 3.- Presentation of the general table of results. 4.- Presentation of two tables of results of Pythagoreans trios by parity (Even or Odd). 5.- Descriptive analysis. Behavior of Criterion and its application for the deduction of all and every possible primitive Pythagorean trios. 6.- Conclusion: Presentation of the criterion

Remark: During this development and analysis of criterion can be observed and inferred that the terms of all primitive trios terms are obtained as follows: The terms (b and c) are specified in columns by the decomposition of any square of any odd number into two addends and the term: (a) is obtained with the product of the square roots of the differences and the sum of the terms of the columns of the decomposition: (c - b). (b + c).
Based: On the functional equations and formulas. First step: Placing vertically all natural numbers. From: The number 1 to the number N.

Step Three: Place a second column vertically and parallel to the first by applying the appropriate formula and according to the parity of each term in the first column and each term or result is also squared.
