Let $a,b,$ and $c$ be positive integers. We show that if $(a,b) =(N^k-1,N)$, where $N,k\geq 2$, then there is at most one positive integer solution $(x,y)$ to the exponential Diophantine equation $|a^x-b^y|=c$, unless $(N,k)=(2,2)$. Combining this with results of Bennett [3] and the first author [6], we stated all cases for which the equation $|(N^k \pm 1)^x - N^y|=c$ has more than one positive integer solutions $(x,y)$.

Abstract Jeśmanowicz conjectured that $(x,y,z)=(2,2,2)$ is the only positive integer solution of the equation $(*)\; ((\kern1.5pt f^2-g^2)n)^x+(2fgn)^y=((\kern1.5pt f^2+g^2)n)^x$ , where n is a positive integer and f, g are positive integers such that $f>g$ , $\gcd (\kern1.5pt f,g)=1$ and $f \not \equiv g\pmod 2$ . Using Baker’s method, we prove that: (i) if $n>1$ , $f \ge 98$ and $g=1$ , then $(*)$ has no positive integer solutions $(x,y,z)$ with $x>z>y$ ; and (ii) if $n>1$ , $f=2^rs^2$ and $g=1$ , where r, s are positive integers satisfying $(**)\; 2 \nmid s$ and $s<2^{r/2}$ , then $(*)$ has no positive integer solutions $(x,y,z)$ with $y>z>x$ . Thus, Jeśmanowicz’ conjecture is true if $f=2^rs^2$ and $g=1$ , where r, s are positive integers satisfying $(**)$ .

<abstract><p>Let $ k $ be a fixed positive integer with $ k &gt; 1 $. In 2014, N. Terai <sup>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b6">6</xref>]</sup> conjectured that the equation $ x^2+(2k-1)^y = k^z $ has only the positive integer solution $ (x, y, z) = (k-1, 1, 2) $. This is still an unsolved problem as yet. For any positive integer $ n $, let $ Q(n) $ denote the squarefree part of $ n $. In this paper, using some elementary methods, we prove that if $ k\equiv 3 $ (mod 4) and $ Q(k-1)\ge 2.11 $ log $ k $, then the equation has only the positive integer solution $ (x, y, z) = (k-1, 1, 2) $. It can thus be seen that Terai's conjecture is true for almost all positive integers $ k $ with $ k\equiv 3 $(mod 4).</p></abstract>

AbstractLet $m$, $a$, $c$ be positive integers with $a\equiv 3, 5~({\rm mod} \hspace{0.334em} 8)$. We show that when $1+ c= {a}^{2} $, the exponential Diophantine equation $\mathop{({m}^{2} + 1)}\nolimits ^{x} + \mathop{(c{m}^{2} - 1)}\nolimits ^{y} = \mathop{(am)}\nolimits ^{z} $ has only the positive integer solution $(x, y, z)= (1, 1, 2)$ under the condition $m\equiv \pm 1~({\rm mod} \hspace{0.334em} a)$, except for the case $(m, a, c)= (1, 3, 8)$, where there are only two solutions: $(x, y, z)= (1, 1, 2), ~(5, 2, 4). $ In particular, when $a= 3$, the equation $\mathop{({m}^{2} + 1)}\nolimits ^{x} + \mathop{(8{m}^{2} - 1)}\nolimits ^{y} = \mathop{(3m)}\nolimits ^{z} $ has only the positive integer solution $(x, y, z)= (1, 1, 2)$, except if $m= 1$. The proof is based on elementary methods and Baker’s method.

The problem of the positive integer solution of the equation Xn = A for different-order matrices is important to solve a large range of problems related to the modeling of economic and social processes. The need to solve similar problems also arises in areas such as management theory, dynamic programming technique for solving some differential equations. In this connection, it is interesting to question the existence of positive and positive integer solutions of the nonlinear equations of the form Xn = A for different-order matrices in the case of the positive integer n. The purpose of this work is to explore the possibility of using analytical methods to obtain positive integer solutions of nonlinear matrix equations of the form Xn = A where A, X are the third-order matrices, n is the positive integer. Elements of the original matrix A are integer and positive numbers. The present study found that when the root of the nth degree of the third-order matrix will have zero diagonal elements and nonzero and positive off-diagonal elements, the root of the nth degree of the third-order matrix will have two zero diagonal elements and nonzero positive off-diagonal elements. It was shown that to solve the problem of finding positive integer solutions of the matrix equation for third-order matrices in the case of the positive integer n, the analytical techniques can be used. The article presents the formulas that allow one to find the roots of positive integer matrices for n = 3,…,5. However, the methodology described in the article can be adopted to find the natural roots of the third-order matrices for large n.

Baker's Theorem

Let $a,b,c$ be a primitive Pythagorean triple and set $a=m^{2}-n^{2},b=2mn,c=m^{2}+n^{2}$, where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers with $m>n$, $\text{gcd}(m,n)=1$ and $m\not \equiv n~(\text{mod}~2)$. In 1956, Jeśmanowicz conjectured that the only positive integer solution to the Diophantine equation $(m^{2}-n^{2})^{x}+(2mn)^{y}=(m^{2}+n^{2})^{z}$ is $(x,y,z)=(2,2,2)$. We use biquadratic character theory to investigate the case with $(m,n)\equiv (2,3)~(\text{mod}~4)$. We show that Jeśmanowicz’ conjecture is true in this case if $m+n\not \equiv 1~(\text{mod}~16)$ or $y>1$. Finally, using these results together with Laurent’s refinement of Baker’s theorem, we show that Jeśmanowicz’ conjecture is true if $(m,n)\equiv (2,3)~(\text{mod}~4)$ and $n<100$.

Let D1, D2, D, k, λ be fixed integers such that D1 ≥ 1, D2 ≥ 1, gcd (D1, D2) = 1, D = D1D2 is not a square, ∣k∣ > 1, gcd (D, k) = 1 and λ = 1 or 4 according as 2 ∤ k or not. In this paper, we prove that every solution class S(l) of the equation D1x2-D2y2 = λkz, gcd (x, y) = 1, z > 0, has a unique positive integer solution [Formula: see text] satisfying [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], where z runs over all integer solutions (x,y,z) of S(l),(u1,v1) is the fundamental solution of Pell's equation u2 - Dv2 = 1. This result corrects and improves some previous results given by M. H. Le.
