Abstract

In this paper, we study the diophantine equation $ax^2+b=cy^n$ where $a, b, c, n, x, y$ are positive integers and we prove some results concerning this equation when $b = 7, 11$. In Theorem 3, we are able to correct the result of Demirpolat and Cenberci appeared in [9].


Keywords

Diophantine equation, perfect square, quadratic field.
