Abstract

An effective upper bound is established for the least non-trivial integer solution to the system of cubic forms {F=c1x13+c2x23++cnxn3=0,G=d1x13+d2x23++dnxn3=0, \begin{cases} F = c_{1}x_1^3 + c_{2}x_2^3 + \cdots + c_{n}x_n^3 = 0, \\ G = d_{1}x_1^3 + d_{2}x_2^3 + \cdots + d_{n}x_n^3 = 0, \end{cases} under the "MM-good" condition for n16n \ge 16, where c1,,cnc_{1}, \dots, c_{n} and d1,,dnd_{1}, \dots, d_{n} are integers. Additionally, a range is derived for the probability that randomly selected simultaneous equations satisfy the MM-good condition.
