Abstract Let m > 1 be a positive integer. We show that the exponential Diophantine equation mx + (m + 1) y = (1 + m + m 2) z has only the positive integer solution (x, y, z) = (2, 1, 1) when m ≥ 2.

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.

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.

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 $(x,y)$.

AbstractLet l,m,r be fixed positive integers such that 2| l, 3lm, l > r and 3 | r. In this paper, using the BHV theorem on the existence of primitive divisors of Lehmer numbers, we prove that if min{rlm2 − 1,(l − r)lm2 + 1} > 30, then the equation (rlm2 − 1)x + ((l − r)lm2 + 1)y = (lm)z has only the positive integer solution (x,y,z) = (1,1,2).

For fixed coprime positive integers [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], there is a conjecture that the exponential Diophantine equation [Formula: see text] has only the positive integer solution [Formula: see text] for any positive integer [Formula: see text]. This is the analogue of Jésmanowicz conjecture. In this paper, we consider the equation [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] are coprime positive integers, and prove that the equation has no positive integer solution if [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].

ln this paper, using a deep result on the existence of primitive divisors of Lehmer numbers given by Y. Bilu, G. Hanrot and P. M. Voutier, we prove that the equation has no positive integer solution (x, y, m, p, q), where p and q are odd primes with p>3, gcd(x, y)=1 and y is not the sum of two consecutive squares.

Let [Formula: see text] be a positive integer which is not a square. Further, let [Formula: see text] be the least positive integer solution of the Pell equation [Formula: see text], and let [Formula: see text] denote the class number of binary quadratic primitive forms of discriminant [Formula: see text]. If [Formula: see text] satisfies [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] is called an exceptional number. In this paper, under the assumption that there have no exceptional numbers, we prove that the equation [Formula: see text] has no positive integer solutions [Formula: see text] satisfy [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].

Let $c\geq 2$ be a positive integer. Terai [‘A note on the Diophantine equation $x^{2}+q^{m}=c^{n}$’, Bull. Aust. Math. Soc.90 (2014), 20–27] conjectured that the exponential Diophantine equation $x^{2}+(2c-1)^{m}=c^{n}$ has only the positive integer solution $(x,m,n)=(c-1,1,2)$. He proved his conjecture under various conditions on $c$ and $2c-1$. In this paper, we prove Terai’s conjecture under a wider range of conditions on $c$ and $2c-1$. In particular, we show that the conjecture is true if $c\equiv 3\hspace{0.6em}({\rm mod}\hspace{0.2em}4)$ and $3\leq c\leq 499$.

Let \((a, b, c)\) be a primitive Pythagorean triple parameterized as \(a=u^2-v^2, b=2uv, c=u^2+v^2\), where \(u>v>0\) are co-prime and not of the same parity. In 1956, L. Jesmanowicz conjectured that for any positive integer \(n\), the Diophantine equation \((an)^x+(bn)^y=(cn)^z\) has only the positive integer solution \((x,y,z)=(2,2,2)\). In this connection we call a positive integer solution \((x,y,z)\ne (2,2,2)\) with \(n>1\) exceptional. In 1999 M.-H. Le gave necessary conditions for the existence of exceptional solutions which were refined recently by H. Yang and R.-Q. Fu. In this paper we give a unified simple proof of the theorem of Le-Yang-Fu. Next we give necessary conditions for the existence of exceptional solutions in the case \(v=2,\ u\) is an odd prime. As an application we show the truth of the Jesmanowicz conjecture for all prime values \(u < 100\).
