A classical approach to a parametric family of simultaneous Pell equations with applications to a family of Thue equations (Q825020)

Rihane, Hernane and Togbé characterized the set of integer solutions of the parametric Thue equations of the form \[ x^4+(4c^2-1)x^3y+(8c^2+6)x^2y^2+4(c^2-1)xy^3+y^4=\mu, \] where \(c\geq 3\) is an integer and \(0<|\mu|<2c\) [\textit{S. E. Rihane} et al., Bol. Soc. Mat. Mex., III. Ser. 27, No. 2, Paper No. 57, 14 p. (2021; Zbl 1490.11040)]. In the proof they used linear forms in logarithms method along with an appropriate reduction techniques. In the note under review, the authors present a different proof of this result using only classical tools, i.e., the results of Cohn and Ljunggren on quartic Diophantine equations.
