Extract

Let ℤ, ℕ, ℚ denote the sets of integers, positive integers and rational numbers, respectively. Solutions (x, y, m, n) of the equation (1) have been investigated in many papers:

Let ω(m), ρ(m) denote the number of distinct prime factors and the greatest square free factor of m, respectively. In this note we prove the following results.
