    It is proved that every integer is the sum or difference of 12 integral seventh powers and that every rational member is the sum or difference of 8 seventh powers of rational numbers. A parametric solution in positive integers of the Diophantine equation \(\sum^4_{i=1} x^7_i=\sum^5_{i=1} y^7_i\) is obtained and it is also shown how solutions in positive integers of the equation \(\sum^m_{i=1} x^7_i=\sum^n_{i=1} y^7_i\) may be obtained whenever \(m\geq 4\) and \(n\geq 5\).
