The name "Catalan's identity" is used for either of two identities.
The first is

where 
is a Fibonacci number. Letting 
gives Cassini's identity.
The second is the trivariate identity on partition of cubes into a sum of three squares given by
![(x^2+y^2+z^2)^3=[x(=3z^2-x^2-y^2)]^2+[y(3z^2-x^2-y^2)]^2
+[z(z^2-3x^2-3y^2)]^2.](/images/equations/CatalansIdentity/NumberedEquation2.svg) |
