Sur quelques équations diophantiennes du type \(cZ^N = F_1(X,Y) + F_2(U,V)\) (Q2545706)

Certain theorems of \textit{T. Nagell} [Acta Arith. 9, 227--235 (1964; Zbl 0125.29702)] are generalized. Let \(\Omega\) be any field. Let \(F_1(X,Y)\), \(F_2(U,V)\) be forms of degree \(\ge 2\) in \(X,Y\) and \(U,V\), respectively, with coefficients belonging to \(\Omega\). A typical theorem states that the equation \(cZ^N =F_1(X,Y) +F_2(U,V)\) is satisfied when \(N,X,Y,Z,U\) and \(V\) obey certain conditions. Using these theorems, the author gives (i) the solution in rational numbers of the equation \(4p^3 - 27q^2 = (2b)^2\), (ii) results on arithmetic progressions which yield rational or whole numbers \(a, b, c\) such that \(a^n + c^{n\pm 1} = 2b^n\), where \(n\ge 2\).
