Diophantine equations involving Euler function

Abstract: In this paper, we show that the equation

v a r p h i (| x^{m} - y^{m} |) = | x^{n} - y^{n} |

has no nontrivial solutions in integers

x, y, m, n

with

x y e q 0, m > 0, n > 0

except for the solutions

(x, y, m, n) = ((2^{t - 1} p m 1), - (2^{t - 1} m p 1), 2, 1), (- (2^{t - 1} p m 1), (2^{t - 1} m p 1), 2, 1),

where

t

is a integer with

t g e q 2.

The equation

v a r p h i (| f r a c x^{m} - y^{m} x - y |) = | f r a c x^{n} - y^{n} x - y |

has no nontrivial solutions in integers

x, y, m, n

with

x y e q 0, m > 0, n > 0

except for the solutions

(x, y, m, n) = (a p m 1, - a, 1, 2), (a p m i, - a, 2, 1),

where

a

is a integer with

i = 1, 2.
