Abstract
The number of solutions to in integers is a well-known result, while if one restricts all the variables to primes Erdos showed that only the diagonal solutions, namely, the ones with contribute to the main term, hence there is a paucity of the off-diagonal solutions. Daniel considered the case of being prime and proved that the main term has both the diagonal and the non-diagonal contributions. Here we investigate the remaining cases, namely when only is a prime and when both c,d are primes and, finally, when are primes by combining techniques of Daniel, Hooley and Plaksin.
