1.Introduction

A. Bremner, AJAI CHOUDHRY and M. Ulas([1]) gave a solution of x^6 + y^6 - 36z^6 + 2w^3 =0 as a special case of PX^6+ QY^6+ Sm^2Z^6+ RW^3= 0.

We show five solutions of ax^8+ by^8+ cz^4+ dw^4= 0 by their method.



2.Method
        

We consider the identity a^2T^8+b^2+2abT^4 = (aT^4+b)^2........................(1)

Let aT^4+b = mz^2..............................................................(2)
If we can find the rational solution (T,z) of (2) for some m, we obtain the solution of (3).

a^2X^8+b^2Y^8-m^2Z^4+2abW^4=0..................................................(3)

Hence if equation (2) has infinitely many rational solutions, equation (3) has infinitely many integer solutions.

     
3.Results


Case 1: 4x^8+y^8-9z^4+4w^4 = 0
       
By using (a,b,m)=(2,1,3), equation (2) has rational solution (T,z)=(-1,-1).

We obtain quartic elliptic curve and Weierstrass form,

V^2 = 6U^4 +3.

Y^2 = X^3 - 72X.

This rank is 1 and generator: P=(9, -9).

Thus, we can obtain infinitely many integer solutions.
