Sažetak

Let c be a positive integer. In this paper, we use the method of Tzanakis to transform the quartic Thue inequality

|x4 - 4x3y - (2c-2)x2y2 + (4c+4)xy3 - (2c-1)y4| ≤ max{c/4, 4}

into systems of Pellian equations. Then we find all primitive solutions of this inequality using continued fractions.
