Background

In discussing a variant of formulation (B), the paper cites Izadi and Baghalaghdam (2017) and notes their extension of the conjectured solvability domain from integers to all rationals.

This frames a broader conjectural claim about solvability for every rational a, beyond the natural numbers considered in most computational tables.

References

A variant of (B) was obtained by a different method in Izadi and Baghalaghdam (2017). There, advanced elliptic curve theory was applied to develop numerical solutions for various a E N , and the conjectured domain of the solution space was extended to all a € Q.
