Quintic diophantine equation

1k Views Asked by At

How can I find non trivial primitive integer solutions, to the Diophantine equation $$a^4+b^4+c^4=d^5$$ Can anyone find me solutions to this equation?

Or if possible a parametric equation that generates solutions?

I would appreciate any help

Ive also simplified it to finding coprime integer solutions greater then 1 to the equation,$$xyz(x^2+y^2+z^2)=1250w^5$$ I don't know if that helps at all.

Pick any three numbers, say $1,2,3$. Compute $1^4+2^4+3^4=1+16+81=98$. Multiply through by $98^4$, and voila! $$98^4+196^4+294^4=98^5$$ If you insist on relatively prime solutions, you may have to work a little harder....

Relatively prime may be difficult:

a parametric equation that generates solutions?

The expected number of integer solutions without common factor is finite, so no.

Have a look at this experimental result with Pari gp for $a^{m}+b^{m}+c^{m} = d^{m+1}$ and m =3. $? k=1000;for(a=1,k,for(b=a,k,for(c=b,k,if(ispower(a^3+b^3+c^3,4,&n)&gcd(a,b)==1&gcd(a,c)==1&gcd(b,c)==1,print actor(n)]))))) [19, Mat([19, 1]), 89, Mat([89, 1]), 117, [3, 2; 13, 1], 39, [3, 1; 13, 1]] [75, [3, 1; 5, 2], 164, [2, 2; 41, 1], 293, Mat([293, 1]), 74, [2, 1; 37, 1]] [81, Mat([3, 4]), 167, Mat([167, 1]), 266, [2, 1; 7, 1; 19, 1], 70, [2, 1; 5, 1; 7, 1]] [107, Mat([107, 1]), 163, Mat([163, 1]), 171, [3, 2; 19, 1], 57, [3, 1; 19, 1]] [222, [2, 1; 3, 1; 37, 1], 263, Mat([263, 1]), 961, Mat([31, 2]), 174, [2, 1; 3, 1; 29, 1]] [225, [3, 2; 5, 2], 362, [2, 1; 181, 1], 407, [11, 1; 37, 1], 106, [2, 1; 53, 1]] [323, [17, 1; 19, 1], 333, [3, 2; 37, 1], 433, Mat([433, 1]), 111, [3, 1; 37, 1]] [397, Mat([397, 1]), 441, [3, 2; 7, 2], 683, Mat([683, 1]), 147, [3, 1; 7, 2]]$

We can see there are primitive solutions if m <4 because there are probably some hidden identities; i am myself skilless and have not enough mathematical knowledge to find them; but one seems to be $ e^{3}+ f^{3}+ 3^2g^{3} =3g^{4}$
