A problem concerning the behaviour of the number of solutions $I_k(N)$ of the equation

$$p_1^n+\ldots+p_k^n=N,$$

where $p_1,\ldots,p_k$ are prime numbers and $n\geq1$ (cf. Waring problem; Goldbach problem). The results obtained (up to 1977) are roughly the same as those obtained in Waring's problem: It has been proved that the equation is solvable (i.e. $I_k(N)>0$) if $k=O(n\log n)$, while an asymptotic formula for $I_k(N)$ has been obtained for $k=O(n^2\log n)$. These solutions were obtained by the Vinogradov method.
