Abstract

Let $a,b$ and $c$ be relatively prime positive integers such that $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$. We prove that if $b \equiv 0 \pmod{2^{r}}$ and $b \equiv \pm 2^{r} \pmod{a}$ for some non-negative integer $r$, then the Diophantine equation $a^{x}+b^{y}=c^z$ has only the positive solution $(x,y,z)=(2,2,2)$. We also show that the same holds if $c \equiv -1 \pmod{a}$.
