[seqfan] Re: a^2 + b^3 = c^4

[Alonso Del Arte]

I would add the "c" sequence first, and hold off on "a" and "b" until I or
someone else can resolve the theoretical questions, like which which values
of c have more than one pair of a and b, and whether there is such a thing
as a "primitive" solution.
