Good evening,

There are known solutions of form
a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2 = f^2 a,b,c,d,f positive integer numbers

Is this one of any interest:
(x^2-yz)^2+(y^2-xz)^2+(z^2-xy)^2+(xy+yz+zx)^2
=
(x^2+y^2+z^2)^2

sure, a = b = c = d = 1 and f = 2

Bonjour Sherman

I am pretty sure you might have got out
more juice from the equality:
(x^2-yz)^2+(y^2-xz)^2+(z^2-xy)^2+(xy+yz+zx)^2
=
(x^2+y^2+z^2)^2

than you have got.

1) If n is a sum of three squares then
n^2 may be written as a sum of four squares.

2)When z^2=2xy
(x+y)^4 = (x^2-yz)^2+(y^2-xz)^2+(xy)^2+(xy+yz+zx)^2
