Values of u in the (2,3)-quartals (m,u,v,w) having m=1; i.e., values of v for solutions to 1 + u^3 = v^2 + w^3, in positive integers, with v > 1; see Comments.

A 4-tuple (m,u,v,w) is a (p,q)-quartal if m,u,v,w are positive integers such that m<v and m^p + u^q = v^p + w^q. Here, p=2, q=3, m=1.
Includes all squares > 1, as 1 + (i^2)^3 = v^2 + w^3 with w = 1, v = i^3. - Robert Israel, Jul 28 2025

EXAMPLE
First 20 (2,3)-quartals (1,u,v,w):
m u v w
1 4 8 1
1 9 27 1
1 12 27 10
1 16 64 1
1 25 125 1
1 27 134 12
1 29 123 21
1 32 181 2
1 35 126 30
1 35 207 3
1 36 216 1
1 40 251 10
1 41 253 17
1 42 217 30
1 42 269 12
1 47 300 24
1 48 267 34
1 49 343 1
1 51 242 42
1 54 379 24
1^2 + 12^3 = 27^2 + 10^3 = 1729, so (1,12,27,10) is in the list.
