Abstract

In this paper we obtain three undecidable results for exponential diophantine equations over the field Q\mathbb Q of rational numbers. For example, we prove that there is no algorithm to decide the solvability of a general exponential diophantine equation F(x1,,x8)=0F(x_1,\ldots,x_{8})=0 over Q\mathbb Q with eight unknowns.
