The representation of almost all numbers as sums of unlike powers
Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux, Volume 13 (2001) no. 1, pp. 227-240.

We prove in this article that almost all large integers have a representation as the sum of a cube, a biquadrate, ..., and a tenth power.

Nous prouvons dans cet article que presque tout entier s'écrit comme la somme d'un cube, d'un bicarré, ..., et d'une puissance dixième.
