Abstract
One of the first parametrised Thue equations, over the integers was solved by E. Thomas in 1990. If we interpret this as a norm-form equation, we can write this as if are the roots of the defining irreducible polynomial, and the corresponding number field.\par\medskip Levesque and Waldschmidt twisted this norm-form equation by an exponential parameter and looked, among other things, at the equation They solved this effectively and conjectured that introducing a second exponential parameter and looking at does not change the effective solvability. \par\medskip We want to partially confirm this, given that i.e. the two exponents do not almost cancel in specific cases.
