Abstract

top
In this paper, we use Baker’s method, based on linear forms of logarithms, to solve a family of Thue equations associated with a family of number fields of degree 3. We obtain all solutions to the Thue equation Φ n ( x , y ) = x 3 + ( n 8 + 2 n 6 - 3 n 5 + 3 n 4 - 4 n 3 + 5 n 2 - 3 n + 3 ) x 2 y - ( n 3 - 2 ) n 2 x y 2 - y 3 = ± 1 , for n ≥ 0 .
