Abstract

For any real number tt, let [t][t] denote the integer part of tt. In this paper it is proved that if 1<c<2472381<c<\frac{247}{238}, then for sufficiently large integer NN, the equation [pc]+[mc]=N\left[p^{c}\right]+\left[m^{c}\right]=N has a solution in a prime pp and an almost prime mm with at most [450247238c]+1\left[\frac{450}{247-238c}\right]+1 prime factors. This result constitutes an improvement upon that of Petrov and Tolev.
