ax^4 + by^4 + cz^4 + dw^4 = 0, abcd=□

Existence of solution for diophantine equation ax^4 + by^4 + cz^4 + dw^4 = 0 are known if abcd is square number.
Furthermore, condition of a + b + c + d = 0 or having one known solution is necessary to have a rational solution.
We show some parametric solutions of ax^4 + by^4 + cz^4 + dw^4 = 0 with abcd is square number.

General case:

     4(m^2-1)X^4 + (1-m^2)(m^2+3)Y^4 = -(m^2-1)^2Z^4 + 4(m^2+3)W^4
     
     (d^2-2dm^2+2m^4)X^4 + (d^2-2dm^2+2m^4)Y^4 = 2(-d+m^2)^2Z^4 + 2W^4
     
     -dm^2(d+2)X^4 + (-2m^2+d+2)m^2(d-2m^2)Y^4 = d(d-2m^2)m^4Z^4 + (d+2)(2m^2-d-2)W^4
     
     (m^4+1)X^4 + (m^4+1)Y^4 = 2Z^4 + 2W^4
     
     2mnX^4 + (m^2-n^2)Y^4 = 2mnZ^4 + (m^2-n^2)W^4
     
     pX^4 + pY^4 = qZ^4 + qW^4
     
Individual case:

According Richmond' theorem, since below solutions have rational solutions then we can obtain infinitely many integer solutions.
We show only small solutions with {x,y,z,w}<1000.
Equation ax^4 + by^4 = cz^4 + dw^4 with a+b-c = 16d has smallest non zero solution ( x, y, z, w)=( 1, 1, 1, 2).
a<10,{b,c,d}<50, a+b≠c+d.
