Abstract

We show that there are O(B3/53/1555+\ep)O(B^{3/5-3/1555+\ep}) triples (x,y,z)(x,y,z) of square-full integesr up to BB satisfying the equation x+y=zx+y=z for any fixed \ep>0\ep>0. This is the first improvement over the `easy' exponent 3/53/5, given by Browning and Van Valckenborgh. One new tool is a strong uniform bound for the counting function for equations aX3+bY3=cZ3aX^3+bY^3=cZ^3.
