Abstract: Let $[\theta]$ denote the integral part of the real number $\theta.$ We prove that for $1<c<\frac{25 908}{18 905}$, the Diophantine equation $[p_1^c]+[p_2^c]+[p_3^c]+[p_4^c]+[p_5^c]=N$ is solvable in prime variables $p_1$, $p_2$, $p_3$, $p_4$, $p_5$ such that $p_1=x^2+y^2+1$ with integers $x$ and $y$ for sufficiently large integer $N$, and we also establish the corresponding asymptotic formula. This result constitutes a refinement upon that of S. Dimitrov (2023).
