This problem was first asked at Mathematics Stack Exchange, where it wasn't drawn much attention.
For ease of reading, $$S=\sum_{i=1}^nx_i, S_p=\sum_{i=1,i\ne p}^nx_i, S^{[q]}=\sum_{i=1}^nx_i^q, S_p^{[q]}=\sum_{i=1,i\ne p}^nx_i^q. \sum\text{ refers to }\sum_{i=1}^n.$$ Note that $S^q$ is not $S^{[q]}$ and $S_p^q$ is not $S_p^{[q]}$.
Define an equation $A_n$: $$\sum S_i^{[x_i]}=S^S.$$ For example, $A_3$ is: $${x_1}^{x_2}+{x_1}^{x_3}+{x_2}^{x_1}+{x_2}^{x_3}+{x_3}^{x_1}+{x_3}^{x_2}=({x_1}+{x_2}+{x_3})^{({x_1}+{x_2}+{x_3})}.$$
Without loss of generality, for every non-negative integer solutions (hereinafter called "solutions") for $A_n$, $x_i\le x_{i+1}$ for every $1\leq i<n$, then there are two distinct non-negetive solutions for $A_3$, one is ${x_1}=0,{x_2}=0,{x_3}=2$, and the other is ${x_1}=0,{x_2}=1,{x_3}=1$.
We call a solution for $A_n$ 'non-trivial' if $x_{n-1}\ne0$. The only known non-trivial solution is ${x_1}=0,{x_2}=1,{x_3}=1$ for $A_3$. The problem is: are there any more non-trivial solutions for $A_n$?
If so, please give an example.
Since this question is difficult enough, I will also recieve answers which give some features about every non-trivial solutions.
Update on 2021-06-26: Claim. For every solutions to $A_n$, $$S^{S_n}\le n(n-1).$$
Prove.
- Lemma 1. Claim.
$$S_i^{[x_i]}\le(n-1)S_i^{x_i}.$$
Prove. If $x_1=0$, then $$S_i^{[x_i]}=(n-1)S_i^{x_i}.$$ If $x_1\ne0$, then $$S_i^{[x_i]}\le S_i^{x_i}\le(n-1)S_i^{x_i}.$$ - For every $1\le i<n$, $x_i\le x_{i+1}$, therefore, for every $1\le i\le n$, $x_i\le x_n$. And for every $1\le i\le n$, $x_i$ is non-negetive integer, therefore, for every $1\le i\le n$, $$S_i^{x_i}\le S_i^{x_n}\le S^{x_n}.$$
- Therefore, $$S^S=\sum S_i^{[x_i]}\le(n-1)\sum S_i^{x_i}\le(n-1)\sum S^{x_n}=n(n-1)S^{x_n}, $$ that is, $$\frac{S^S}{S^{x_n}}\le n(n-1).$$ Since $$\frac{S^S}{S^{x_n}}=S^{S-x_n}=S^{S_n},$$ $$S^{S_n}\le n(n-1).$$ And that's what we want. $\tiny{\text{I've typed for an hour and I finished it finally :)}}$
