Waring-Goldbach Problem: One Square and Nine Biquadrates

Abstract

In this paper it is proved that every sufficiently large even integer N satisfying one of the congruence conditions N ≡ 10, 58, 130, or 178 (mod 240) may be represented as the sum of one square and nine fourth powers of prime numbers.
