On a class of Lebesgue-Ramanujan-Nagell equations (Q6571332)

The author investigates the Diophantine equation (*) \(cx^2 + d^{2m+1} = 2y^n\) in integers \(x,y \geq 1\), \(m\geq 0\) and \(n\geq 3\), where \(c\) and \(d\) are fixed coprime positive integers satisfying \(cd\not\equiv 3(\text{mod}\, 4)\). He solves the equation (*) for primes \(n\) under the condition \(\gcd(n,h(-cd))=1\), where \(h(-cd)\) denotes the class number of the imaginary quadratic field \(\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-cd})\) (Theorem 1.1). The second result is about the integer solutions of (*), when both \(c\) and \(d\) are distinct odd primes satisfying \(cd\not\equiv 3(\text{mod}\, 4)\), and \(n\geq 3\) is an integer which is not a power of \(2\) and \(\gcd(n,h(-cd))=1\) (Theorem 1.3). Last result (Theorem 1.6) concerns the case \(c=1\) and \(d\equiv 1(\text{mod}\,4)\). The main ingredients of the proofs are the classical results of \textit{Yu. Bilu} et al. [J. Reine Angew. Math. 539, 75--122 (2001; Zbl 0995.11010)] on primitive divisors in Lehmer sequences, and some computations in Magma.
