On the Generalized LEBESGUE-Ramanujan-Nagell Equation

Ran Yinxia

Abstract—Let p is a prime, we studied the the generalized Lebesgue-Ramanujan-Nagell equation. By using the elementary method and algebraic number theory, we obtain one necessary condition which the equation has integer solutions and some sufficient conditions which the equation has no integer solution. 1). Let x be an odd number, one necessary condition which the equation has integer solutions is that 2n(p-1)-1/p contains some square factors. 2). Let x be an even number, when n=pk(k≥1), all integer solutions for the equation are (x, y)=(0,4k); when n=pk+(p-1)/2(k≥0), all integer solutions are (±2pk+(p-1)/2,22k+1); when n≡1,2,3,…,(p-3)/2, (p+1)/2,…,p-1(modp), the equation has no integer solution.

Index Terms—Exponential Diophantine equation, integer solutions, integer ring, algebraic number theory.
