Notes on the Diophantine Equation A4+aB4=C4+aD4
Abstract
A new formulation of the subject equation is presented. Several parametric and semi-parametric solutions are derived. The parametric solution for a=-1 was originally presented in 1972, but never published. A computer-generated version was found by Zajta and published in 1983. The pencil-and-paper version is presented for the record, along with many other examples, including eight coincidental triplet solutions.
