Abstract
In this paper, we consider some hybrid Diophantine equations of addition and multiplication. We first improve a result on new Hilbert-Waring problem. Then we consider the equation \begin{equation} \begin{cases} A+B=C ABC=D^n \end{cases} \end{equation} where and , which may be regarded as a generalization of Fermat's equation . When , is equivalent to Fermat's equation, which means it has no positive integer solutions. We discuss several cases for where is an odd prime. In particular, for we prove that has no nonzero integer solutions when and we conjecture that it is also true for any prime . Finally, we consider equation in quadratic fields for .
