Abstract:
A survey is presented of the more important solution methods of the equation of the title. When space permits, a brief description of the methods and numerical examples are also given. The paper concludes with an incomplete list of 218 primitive nontrivial solutions in rational integers not exceeding ${10^6}$.References
