Abstract
The diophantine equation x3 - 3xy2 - y3 = ± 3n017n119n2 is completely solved as follows. First, a large upper bound for the variables is obtained from the theory of linear forms in p-adic and real logarithms of algebraic numbers. Then this bound is reduced to a manageable size by p-adic and real computational diophantine approximation, based on the L3-algorithm. Finally the complete list of solutions is found in a sieving process. The method is in principle applicable to any Thue-Mahler equation, as the authors will show in a forthcoming paper.
