Abstract
Let , be positive integers such that , and . In 1956, L. Je\'smanowicz \cite{Jes} conjectured that the equation has only the positive integer solution . This problem is not yet solved. In this paper, combining a lower bound for linear forms in two logarithms due to M. Laurent \cite{Lau} with some elementary methods, we prove that if and , then Je\'smanowicz' conjecture is true.
