Re: Diophantine equation
Hi Ronald;
I do not believe there is any solution to that in integers.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Re: Diophantine equation
Write as and treat it as a quadratic in . The discriminant is
So the equation has no real solutions in x (let alone integer ones).
