On the equations \(p^x - b^y = c\) and \(a^x + b^y = c^z\) (Q687512)

The paper's abstract sums it up nicely: ``\dots The main results are the following: The equation \(p^x - b^y=c\), where \(p\) is prime, and \(b>1\) and \(c\) are positive integers, has at most one solution \((x,y)\) when \(y\) is odd, except for five specific cases, and at most one solution when \(y\) is even. The equation \(p^n - q^m= p^N - q^M\), where \(p\) and \(q\) are primes, has no solutions \((n,m,N,M)\) unless \((p/q)= (q/p)=1\), except for four specific cases. The equation \(a^x + b^y= p^z\), where \(a>1\), \(b>1\), \((a,b)=1\), and \(p\) is prime, has at most two solutions when \(p\) is odd and at most one solution when \(p=2\) except for two specific cases''.
