The Diophantine equation $P_1^3 + P_2^3 + P_3^3 = P_4^3$

Consider the Diophantine equation $$P_1^3 + P_2^3 + P_3^3 = P_4^3$$ Where $P_n$ are distinct odd primes. What are the smallest solutions ? Is there even a solution ? Or is there a reason no such ...

More $a^3+b^3+c^3=(c+1)^3,$ and $\sqrt[3]{\cos\tfrac{2\pi}7}+\sqrt[3]{\cos\tfrac{4\pi}7}+\sqrt[3]{\cos\tfrac{8\pi}7}=\sqrt[3]{\tfrac{5-3\sqrt[3]7}2}$

I. Solutions In a previous post, On sums of three cubes of form $a^3+b^3+c^3=(c+1)^3$, an example of which is the well-known, $$3^3+4^3+5^3=6^3$$ we asked if there were polynomial parameterizations ...

Integer solutions of the cubic equation $x^3-a^2bx-1-2ab=0$

Given the equation $x^3-a^2bx-1-2ab=0$. Is there a way to know if any integer solutions exist for $a,b$ integers greater than 1. I've plotted graphs and tried to brute force it but found no solutions. ...

Finding Lattice points on a Cubic

I want to study the rational points on a cubic. Eventually I found Nagell's algorithm from http://webs.ucm.es/BUCM/mat/doc8354.pdf, but I cannot immediately apply it because I don't know a rational ...

Finding all possible roots of the equation

Find all possible solutions to the equation $$(x^3-x)+(y^3-y)=z^3-z$$ where $(x,y,z)\gt1$ and $\in\mathbb{Z}$ and not all three of them are equal. The original question didn't have the last condition ...

On Réalis’s solution of the “cubic Markov equation”

I am interested in the Diophantine equation $$X^3+Y^3+Z^3=3XYZ$$ and its solutions. In Nouv. Corr. Math. 1879 (page 7), Réalis claims that, other than the trivial solution $x=y=z$, the complete ...

Solving $X^2-6Y^2=Z^3$ in positive integers

I’m trying to solve the Diophantine equation $$X^2-6Y^2=Z^3 \tag{$\star$}$$ in positive integers $x,y,z$. Brute force calculations confirm the naïve intuition that there are many [read: surely ...

Solve for integers $x, y$ and $z$: $x^2 + y^2 = z^3.$

Solve for integers $x, y$ and $z$: $x^2 + y^2 = z^3.$ I tried manipulating by adding and subtracting $2xy$ , but it didn't give me any other information, except the fact that $z^3 - 2xy$ and $z^3+2xy$...

Integral solutions to the diophantine equation $y^2=x^3+2017$.

Case 1: $y^2=0 \mod{3}$ \begin{align*} & y^2 = 3b \quad (b=3k^2) \implies x^3=3a +2 \\ & 3b = 3a + 2 + 2017 \implies b-a = 673 \\ & k^2 = \frac{a-2}{3} + 225 \\ \end{align*} Then I just ...

Cubic diophantine equation in two variables

I am trying to solve the Diophantine equation $xy^2 + 2xy + x - 243y = 0$. I simplified it to $x(y^2 +2y +1) = 243y$ but I am stuck on what to do now. Any help would be appreciated.

$6(m + 1)(n − 1), 6 + (m − 1)(n + 1)$ and $(m − 2)(n + 2)$ are simultaneously perfect cubes.

Find all pairs of integers (m, n) such that the integers $6(m + 1)(n − 1), 6 + (m − 1)(n + 1)$ and $(m − 2)(n + 2)$ are simultaneously perfect cubes. I assumed $6(m + 1)(n − 1), 6 + (m − 1)(n + 1)$ ...
