1.Introduction

Jim Cullen[1] found small integer solutions of x^4 + y^4 + k = z^2 for k=3,-1,-7. 
We searched the integer solutions of  x^4 + y^4 + k = z^2 for samall k.

2. Claim

1. There is no integer solution of x^4 + y^4 + k = z^2 for k=5,6,10,11,12,13 mod 16.

2. There are infinitely many integer solutions for k=2b^2.
It's obvious by below identity.

(2bma)^4 + (2m^2ba^2)^4 + k^2 = 4b^4(1+2m^4a^4)^2.
a,b,m are arbitrary.

3. There are infinitely many integer solutions for k=-1.
x^4 + y^4 - 1 = z^2.
x^4 + y^4 - 1 = z^2 part2.
