No label defined (Q4489580)

The author gives all solutions of the diophantine equation of the title except \(a=1, n=5, x<-1\) and \(2\mid m\), where \(a,m,n\) are positive integers and \(m>2,n>1,|x|>1\). Pell's equation and \textit{Y. Domar}'s theorem [Math. Scand. 2, 29-32 (1954; Zbl 0056.03602)] is only used in the proof. Clearly, a result of \textit{M. H. Le} [ Math. Proc. Camb. Philos. Soc. 116, 385-389 (1994; Zbl 0821.11021)] is a special case of the above result. Remarks: Two important misprints: On page 1022, (4) and (6) (lines 16 and 23), \(x>-1\) should be replaced by \(x<-1\). In addition, using the work of \textit{H. A. Bennett} and \textit{B. M. M. de Weger} [Math. Comput. 67, 413-438 (1998; Zbl 0892.11041)], we can give a very short proof of Luo's result (including the exceptional case \(a=1, n=5, x<-1\) and \(2\mid m\)).
