Abstract: In this note we consider Diophantine equations of the form �egin{equation*} a(x^p-y^q) = b(z^r-w^s), quad mbox{where}quad frac{1}{p}+frac{1}{q}+frac{1}{r}+frac{1}{s}=1, end{equation*} with even positive integers $p,q,r,s$. We show that in each case the set of rational points on the underlying surface is dense in the Zariski topology. For the surface with $(p,q,r,s)=(2,6,6,6)$ we prove density of rational points in the Euclidean topology. Moreover, in this case we construct infinitely many parametric solutions in coprime polynomials. The same result is true for $(p,q,r,s)in(2,4,8,8),(2,8,4,8)$. In the case $(p,q,r,s)=(4,4,4,4)$, we present some new parametric solutions of the equation $x^4-y^4=4(z^4-w^4)$.
