Abstract

In this paper, we consider the Diophantine equation bk +(a+b)k + ··· + (a(x-1) + b)k= dl + (c+d)l + ··· + (c(y-1) + d)l, where a,b,c,d,k,l are given integers with gcd (a,b) = gcd (c,d) = 1, k ą l. We prove that, under some reasonable assumptions, the above equation has only finitely many solutions.

Keywords
