%N Values of b = max {a,b,c,d} for solutions to a^4 + b^4 = c^4 + d^4, a < c < d < b, ordered by size of b.
%C See A018786 for the values of a^4 + b^4 = c^4 + d^4, and A255352 for the list of the full quadruples (a,b,c,d). See there for further comments, motivation and references.
%C The values of b listed here allow one to reproduce the full solutions (a,b,c,d) with not too much effort, cf. the inner loops of the PARI code.
