On the Diophantine equation x2+p2k+1=4yn

It has been proved that if p is an odd prime, y>1, k≥0, n is an integer greater than or equal to 4, (n,3h)=1 where h is the class number of the field Q(−p), then the equation x2+p2k+1=4yn has exactly five families of solution in the positive integers x, y. It is further proved that when n=3 and p...

description It has been proved that if p is an odd prime, y>1, k≥0, n is an integer greater than or equal to 4, (n,3h)=1 where h is the class number of the field Q(−p), then the equation x2+p2k+1=4yn has exactly five families of solution in the positive integers x, y. It is further proved that when n=3 and p=3a2±4, then it has a unique solution k=0, y=a2±1.
