Rational points of the symmetric diagonal equations (Q2240268)

It is evident from the literature that diophantine equations of different forms have long been of interest to mathematicians. In this work, Jalali, Janfada and Shabani-Solt consider the diophantine equation \(x^5 + ky^q + \ell z^r = u^5 + k v^q + \ell w^r\), where \(k\) and \(\ell\) are nonzero rational numbers. By the theory of elliptic curves, they prove that if \(2 \leq q, r \leq 5\) and \((q, r) \neq (5, 5)\), the above equation has infinitely many nontrivial rational solutions.
