The Diophantine Equation ax6 + by3 + cz2 = 0 in Gaussian Integers

Abstract
In this article, we will examine the Diophantine equation $\small{ax^6+by^3+cz^2=0}$, for arbitrary rational integers a, b, and c in Gaussian integers and find all the solutions of this equation for many different values of a, b, and c. Moreover, two equations of the type $\small{x^6{\pm}iy^3+z^2=0}$, and $\small{x^6+y^3{\pm}wz^2=0}$ are also discussed, where i is the imaginary unit and w is a third root of unity.
