Non-negative Integer Solutions of

a₁^k + a₂^k + a₃^k + a₄^k + a₅^k = b₁^k + b₂^k + b₃^k + b₄^k + b₅^k

( k = 1, 2, 3, 7 )

By searching for the positive integer solutions of c₂^k + c₃^k+ c₄^k+ c₅^k = d₁^k + d₂^k + d₃^k + d₄^k + d₅^k( k = 1, 2, 3 ) and by applying Theorem 1, Chen Shuwen obtained the first solution for ( k = 1, 2, 3, 7 ) in 15 Sep 2022.

Using the same method as above, Chen Shuwen found the following two solutions in September 2022.
- [ 519, 710, 781, 937, 954 ] = [ 521, 694, 807, 909, 970 ]
- [ 41, 148, 248, 389, 502 ] = [ 46, 134, 262, 383, 503 ]
  - Smallest solution.
