Abstract

In this article, we show that the quartic Diophantine equations x4±pqy4=±z2x^4 \pm pqy^4=\pm z^2 and x4±pqy4=±iz2 x^4 \pm pq y^4= \pm iz^2 have only trivial solutions for some primes pp and qq satisfying conditions p3(mod8), q1(mod8) and \legendrepq=1 p \equiv 3 \pmod 8, ~ q \equiv 1 \pmod 8 ~\text{and}~ \displaystyle\legendre{p}{q} = -1. Here we have found the torsion of the two families of elliptic curves to find the solutions of given Diophantine equations. Moreover, we also calculate the rank of these two families of elliptic curves over the Gaussian field Q(i)\mathbb{Q}(i).
