Jan 8, 2023 at 2:57 comment added Tomita When $n=a^3$ then $x^4+y^3=z^2+n$ has a trivial solution $(x,y,z)=(b,a,b^2)$
Jan 5, 2023 at 5:42 comment added individ There is a similar equation. artofproblemsolving.com/community/c3046h1048092 There is only one problem with such equations. The degree of the equations is large. There are very few independent parameters. As a result, it is impossible to write a formula - because there can be a finite number of solutions. For a given number. The only way out is to guess some combination that will simplify the equation, but this is not always possible. There are few independent variables.
Jan 4, 2023 at 19:02 comment added Will Jagy quick note, there are infinitely many $n,$ positive and negative, for which $x^2 + y^2 = z^9 + n$ has no solution.
