Abstract
Let , be fixed positive integers such that , and , and let be a positive integer with . In this paper, using a deep result on the existence of primitive divisors of Lucas numbers due to Y. Bilu, G. Hanrot and P. M. Voutier \cite{BHV}, we prove that if , then the equation has no positive integer solutions with . Combining the above conclusion with some existing results, we can deduce that if and , then (*) has only the positive integer solution .
