AbstractLet l,m,r be fixed positive integers such that 2| l, 3lm, l > r and 3 | r. In this paper, using the BHV theorem on the existence of primitive divisors of Lehmer numbers, we prove that if min{rlm2 − 1,(l − r)lm2 + 1} > 30, then the equation (rlm2 − 1)x + ((l − r)lm2 + 1)y = (lm)z has only the positive integer solution (x,y,z) = (1,1,2).

ln this paper, using a deep result on the existence of primitive divisors of Lehmer numbers given by Y. Bilu, G. Hanrot and P. M. Voutier, we prove that the equation has no positive integer solution (x, y, m, p, q), where p and q are odd primes with p>3, gcd(x, y)=1 and y is not the sum of two consecutive squares.

AbstractLet P and Q be two points on an elliptic curve defined over a number field K. For $$\alpha \in {\text {End}}(E)$$ α ∈ End ( E ) , define $$B_\alpha $$ B α to be the $$\mathcal {O}_K$$ O K -integral ideal generated by the denominator of $$x(\alpha (P)+Q)$$ x ( α ( P ) + Q ) . Let $$\mathcal {O}$$ O be a subring of $${\text {End}}(E)$$ End ( E ) , that is a Dedekind domain. We will study the sequence $$\{B_\alpha \}_{\alpha \in \mathcal {O}}$$ { B α } α ∈ O . We will show that, for all but finitely many $$\alpha \in \mathcal {O}$$ α ∈ O , the ideal $$B_\alpha $$ B α has a primitive divisor when P is a non-torsion point and there exist two endomorphisms $$g\ne 0$$ g ≠ 0 and f so that $$f(P)= g(Q)$$ f ( P ) = g ( Q ) . This is a generalization of previous results on elliptic divisibility sequences.

In this paper, we consider the Diophantine equation in the title, where [Formula: see text] are distinct odd prime numbers and [Formula: see text] are natural numbers. We present many results given conditions for the existence of integers solutions for this equation, according to the values of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Our methods are elementary in nature and are based upon the study of the primitive divisors of certain Lucas sequences as well as the factorization of certain polynomials.

AbstractIn this note we study the existence of primes and of primitive divisors in function field analogues of classical divisibility sequences. Under various hypotheses, we prove that Lucas sequences and elliptic divisibility sequences over function fields defined over number fields contain infinitely many irreducible elements. We also prove that an elliptic divisibility sequence over a function field has only finitely many terms lacking a primitive divisor.
