Is the quartic Diophantine equation $A^4+hB^4=C^4+hD^4$ solvable for any integer $h$?
Abstract
The Diophantine equation , where is a fixed arbitrary positive integer, has been investigated by some authors. Currently, by computer search, the integer solutions of this equation are known for all positive integer values of and , except for some numbers, while a solution of this Diophantine equation is not known for arbitrary positive integer values of . Gerardin and Piezas found solutions of this equation when is given by polynomials of degrees and respectively. Also Choudhry presented some new solutions of this equation when is given by polynomials of degrees , , and . In this paper, by using the elliptic curves theory, we study this Diophantine equation, where is a fixed arbitrary rational number. We work out some solutions of the Diophantine equation for certain values of , in particular for the values which has not already been found a solution in the range where by computer search. Also we present some new parametric solutions for the Diophantine equation when is given by polynomials of degrees , . Finally We present two conjectures such that if one of them is correct, then we may solve the above Diophantine equation for arbitrary rational number .
