Two methods of solving this equation, given by Euler, yield parametric solutions given by polynomials of degrees 7 and 13. Several other parametric solutions are now known, and with the exception of one solution of degree 11, all the published solutions are of degrees $6n+1$ for some integer $n$. The method described in this paper yields new parametric solutions of degrees 21, 39 and 75, that is, degrees that are expressible as $6n+3$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-04-09T03:32:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11D25" ], "keywords": [ "equal sums", "biquadrates", "yield parametric solutions", "classical diophantine equation", "paper yields" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
