Let \(a, b, c, d, e, m, n, p\) and \(q\) be fixed rational integers. In this paper the authors prove the following very precise result Theorem. The Diophantine equation \[ ax^m + bx^n + c = dy^p + ey^q , \] where \(m > n > 0\), \(p > q > 0\), \(\gcd(m, n) = \gcd(p, q) = 1\), \(ab de\not= 0\) and either \(m > p = 3\) or \(m = p = 3\) and \(n \geq q\) has infinitely many rational solutions \(x\), \(y\) with a bounded denominator if and only if either \[ m = p, \quad n = q, \quad a = dt^m, \quad b = et^n, \quad t \in {\mathbb Q}, \quad c = 0, \] or \[ m = p = 3, \quad n = q = 2,\quad a^2e^3 + b^3d^2 = 0, \quad c = - {4b^3 \over 27a^2 }, \] or \[ m = p = 3, \quad n = 2, \quad q = 1, \quad 27a^4e^3 + b^6d = 0, \quad c = -{3a^2e^3 + b^3e^2 \over 3b^3d}. \] The main ingredient in the proof of this Theorem is the Bilu-Tichy Theorem -- an ineffective result -- so this result provides the finiteness of the number of solutions, only. In the special case \(p = 2\) the authors are able to give an upper bound for the solutions \(x\) and \(y\). A result of Brindza on solutions of hyperelliptic equations plays an important role in the proof.
