COMMENTS

Theorem (Nagell-Delone): The equation x^3 + d*y^3 = 1 has at most one nontrivial solution. If (e,f) is a solution, then e+f*d^(1/3) is either E or E^2, where E is the fundamental unit of Q adjoined with the cube root of d. The latter case occurs only for d = 19,20,28.

EXAMPLE

(-1)^3 + 2*1^3 = 1, 2^3 + 7*(-1)^3 = 1, etc...

MATHEMATICA

m = 400; s = {}; Do[ If[x*y < 0, r = Reduce[ d > 0 && x^3 + d*y^3 == 1, d, Integers];

If[r =!= False, AppendTo[s, d /. ToRules[r]]]], {x, -m, m}, {y, -m, m}]; dd = Union[s] [[1 ;; 77]];

fi[d_] := x /. FindInstance[y != 0 && -m < x < m && x^3 + d*y^3 == 1, {x, y}, Integers] // First; fi /@ dd (* From Jean-François Alcover, Jun 8 2011 *)
