On a4+b4+c4+d4=(a+27(b+c+d))4 and ten other new infinite families

Abstract

In 2008, Jacobi and Madden proved that a4+b4+c4+d4=e4 has infinitely many primitive solutions with the linear relation e=a+b+c+d. We extend their result to relations with rational cubes e=a+k3(b+c+d) and prove infinitude for k=3 and $10$ other k≠ 1. We compile $30$ starting solutions. In the spirit of Jacobi and Madden's original paper, everything here is simple algebra except one theorem of Mazur.
