From: TPiezas on 29 Nov 2009 11:26 Hello all, There is a basic identity by Lander, (a+b+c)^5 = (-a+b+c)^5 + (a-b+c)^5 + (a+b-c)^5 + 80abc(a^2+b^2+c^2) Problem: Find {a,b,c} such that, 80abc(a^2+b^2+c^2) = d^5+e^5 (eq.1) I found this has an infinite number of non-trivial solns given by, {a,b,c} = {u^5, 25v^5, 50v^5}, and {d,e} = {10u^3v^2, 50uv^4}. for arbitrary {u,v}. Questions: 1) Is there any other parametrizations to eq.1? 2) What other rational {a,b,c;d,e}, excluding {1,25,32; 20,40}, that do not belong to this family? (Enough solns may lead to a pattern.) - Titus

Yes, the basic form is called Boutin's Identity which generalizes the difference of two squares into a sum and difference of 2^(k-1) kth powers. Thus, (a+b)^2 - (a-b)^2 = 2ab (a+b+c)^3 - (a-b+c)^3 - (a+b-c)^3 + (a-b-c)^3 = 24abc and so on for all kth powers. See Boutin's Identity http://sites.google.com/site/tpiezas/001. II. I found other solns to 80abc(a^2+b^2+c^2) = d^5+e^5. The list {a,b,c}; {d,e} so far is: {1, 25, 32}; {20,40}, {2, 352, 355}; {-328, 388} {4, 125, 155}; {-70, 190} {32, 101, 205}; {-280, 340} and, other than the known family of solns, there doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason to these. - Titus

Yes, it can be solved as a cubic in either {a,b,c}. Too bad there's no simple criterion involving the cubic's discriminant D to determine if it has a rational root. (Unlike the quadratic where D simply is made a square.) P.S. I wonder if eq.1, with constraints, can be transformed into an elliptic curve. After all, it has an infinite number of solns. - Titus |
