1.Introduction


We show that x1^k + x2^k + x3^k = y1^k + y2^k + y3^k where k = 1,2,6
has infinitely many integer solutions.

Choudhry[1] has already proved that it has infinitely many integer solutions.

We show it by different way.


2.Theorem
         
     
   x1^k + x2^k + x3^k = y1^k + y2^k + y3^k where k = 1,2,6 has infinitely many integer solutions.
    
     
Proof.

(ax+b)^k + (cx+d)^k + (x+e)^k - (ax-b)^k - (cx-d)^k - (x-e)^k........................(1)

Case of k=1: (1) is equals to zero where b+d+e=0.....................................(2)

Case of k=2: (1) is equals to zero where ab+dc+e=0...................................(3)

By solving simultaneous equation (2) and (3), we obtain {c,d} as follows.

c=(ab+e)/(b+e), d=-(b+e).............................................................(4)

Case of k=6: 

Substitute (4) to (1), then we find (1) has quadratic forms.


(1) is equals to zero where (4a^3b^3+4a^3be^2+6ea^3b^2+a^3e^3+3a^2b^3+8e^2a^2b+12a^2b^2e
+2a^2e^3+8ab^2e+2b^3a+12abe^2+3e^3a+b^3+4e^3+4b^2e+6be^2)*x^2+b^5+4ab^5+15b^2e^3a
+20b^3e^2a+6be^4a+14b^4ea+e^5a+14be^4+6b^4e+15b^3e^2+20b^2e^3+4e^5 = 0

We have to find rational numbers a, b, and e such that

(-120b^3e^5-10e^7b-180b^6e^2-80b^7e-240b^5e^3-16b^8-e^8-208b^4e^4-45e^6b^2)a^4
+(-190e^6b^2-120b^7e-600b^5e^3-628b^4e^4-360b^6e^2-16b^8-430b^3e^5-6e^8-50e^7b)a^3
+(-11e^8-660b^5e^3-660b^3e^5-325e^6b^2-11b^8-325b^6e^2-90e^7b-90b^7e-828b^4e^4)a^2
+(-50b^7e-628b^4e^4-6b^8-16e^8-190b^6e^2-360e^6b^2-120e^7b-600b^3e^5-430b^5e^3)a
-80e^7b-180e^6b^2-45b^6e^2-b^8-16e^8-10b^7e-120b^5e^3-208b^4e^4-240b^3e^5 = square.

When {b,e}=(7,-8), transform variables then above quartic curve becomes to as follows.

Quartic elliptic curve: V^2 = -90000U^4+510000U^3-1069275U^2+988650U-342225.
 
Let convert quartic elliptic curve to general weierstrass form and we obtain,

Y^2 + XY = X^3 - X^2 - 10584X - 3491910..............................................(5)

The rank of this curve can be determined by mwrank(Cremona), and we know that rank = 1 and generator is  P=(X,Y)=(1539/4 , 54621/8).

Thus (5) has an infinetly many rational solutions, then (1) has an infinetly many integer solutions
