On the Diophantine equation x2+2k=yn

By factorizing the equation x2+2k=yn, n≥3, k-even, in the field Q(i), various theorems regarding the solutions of this equation in rational integers are proved. A conjecture regarding the solutions of this equation has been put forward and proved to be true for a large class of values of k and n.
