Hilbert-Kamke problem

The problem of the compatibility of a system of Diophantine equations of Waring type:

(*)

where the assume integral non-negative values, certain additional restrictions [3] are imposed on the numbers , and is a sufficiently-large number which depends only on the natural number which is given in advance.

The Hilbert–Kamke problem, which was posed in 1900 by D. Hilbert [1], was solved by E. Kamke, who proved that solutions to (*) in fact exist. K.K. Mardzhanishvili in 1937 [3] obtained an asymptotic formula for the number of solutions of this system using the Vinogradov method for estimating trigonometric sums.
