Source abstract

Using modulo properties, we prove that the exponential Diophantine equation a^x+(a-1)^y=z^2 has no solution in non-negative integers x, y, z when a=24N+5, where both N and a are prime. This extends the results of the specific cases 29^x+28^y=z^2 and 3^x+52^y=z^2$ to an infinite family of primes of the form 24N+5.
