Abstract

For any sufficiently large \ell, suppose that \ell can be expressed as =p14+p24+p34++p84, \ell=p_1^4+p_2^4+p_3^4+ \cdots +p_8^4, where p1,p2,p3,,p8p_1, p_2,p_3,\cdots, p_8 are primes.For such \ell, in this paper we will use circle method and sieves to prove that the proportion of \ell in positive integers is at least 1414.465\frac{1}{414.465} .
