Extract

This paper deals with diophantine equations and inequalities in three variables x, y, z. Write

Given an algebraic number field K of degree n and an element ξ of K, denote the conjugates of ξ by ξ(1) = ξ, ξ(2), …, ξ(n), and its norm ξ(1) … ξ(n) by N(ξ). Recent results [3] in diophantine approximations enable us to prove the following theorems.
