Thanks for the info. Note that, as for my solutions, with x^5 + y^5 = u^5 + v^5 then (x+y) = (u+v) My solution can be selected from a parametric that in general gives sqrt-terms. Shall I write up a sketch and post it to the list? all the best, jj * Ed Pegg Jr <ed@mathpuzzle.com> [Feb 06. 2003 08:41]:

Whoops ... I meant that as a private message to Joerg. As it turns out, Fred Helenius found many things, and W. Edwin Clarke found many references. If you want to know any of the number theoretic properties of Gaussian integers, it's probably mentioned at http://www.mathpuzzle.com/Gaussians.html .
And I did an update ... usual batch of mathy results. --Ed Pegg Jr, www.mathpuzzle.com
