    The authors consider the Diophantine equation NEWLINE\[NEWLINEx^4 - 4cx^3y + (6c + 2) x^2 y^2 + 4cxy^3 + y^4 = 1,NEWLINE\]NEWLINE and prove that, for \(c \geq 3\) an integer, it has no solution except the trivial ones: \((\pm 1, 0)\), \((0, \pm 1)\). The authors apply a method of Tzanakis, which reduces the problem to a system of Pellian equations.
