If you want solution for this precise equation, look for "thue equation". The thue equations are some of the few for which there exists efficient methods. for example in PARI/GP (from sage with gp_console()) sage: gp_console() GP/PARI CALCULATOR Version 2.3.3 (released) [snip] P

The integer points function applies to elliptic curves which in Sage are implemented via the EllipticCurve constructor. Note that elliptic curves in Sage are always given by Weierstrass equations. sage: E = EllipticCurve([0,0,1,-7,6]) sage: E.rank() 3 sage: E.integral_points() [(-3 : 0 : 1), (-
