Abstract

We consider the exponential Diophantine equation $a^x+b^y=c^z$ for given pairwise coprime positive integers $a$, $b$ and $c$. The case where both $x$ and $y$ are even is thoroughly studied in order to solve the equation for some infinite classes of triples $(a,b,c)$ which have been unassailable via the previously existing methods. It may be recognized from one of our results that a “quarter” of a major unsolved problem of Jeśmanowicz concerning primitive Pythagorean triples is almost solved.
