Review text

Let \(p\) be an odd prime. In this paper, using recent results related to some variants of Fermat's equation by \textit{H. Darmon} and \textit{L. Merel} [J. Reine Angew. Math. 490, 81-100 (1997)] and \textit{K. A. Ribet} [Acta Arith. 79, 7-16 (1997; Zbl 0877.11015)], the author discusses the solvability of the diophantine equation \[ x^4-y^4= dz^p\tag{*} \] for some positive integer \(d\). For instance, he proves that (*) has no positive integer solution \((x,y,z)\) for \(d=1\). The proof is elementary and straightforward.
