Abstract:
It is shown that if s is large as a function of k and of $\varepsilon > 0$, then the diophantine equation ${a_1}{x_1}^k + \cdots + {a_s}x_s^k = {b_1}y_1^k + \cdots + {b_s}y_s^k$ with positive coefficients ${a_1}, \ldots ,{a_s}$, ${b_1}, \ldots ,{b_s}$ has a nontrivial solution in nonnegative integers ${x_1}, \ldots ,{x_s}$, ${y_1}, \ldots ,{y_s}$ not exceeding ${m^{\left ( {1/k} \right ) + \varepsilon }}$, where m is the maximum of the coefficients.References
