A parametric family of quartic Thue equations

Abstract

In this paper,we give all primitive solutions of a parameterized family of quartic Thue equations:

　　　　　 x^4-4c{x}^{3}y+(6c+2)x^2{y}^2+4cx{y}^3+y^4=96c+169,c>0.

Keywords

Extension of classical Legendre's theorem / Baker-Wüstholz's theorem / Thue equation
