Abstract

In this paper we study the Diophantine equation \begin{align*} b^k + \left(a+b\right)^k + &\left(2a+b\right)^k + \ldots + \left(a\left(x-1\right) + b\right)^k = \\ &y\left(y+c\right) \left(y+2c\right) \ldots \left(y+ \left(\ell-1\right)c\right), \end{align*} where a,b,c,k,a,b,c,k,\ell are given integers under natural conditions. We prove some effective results for special values for c,kc,k and \ell and obtain a general ineffective result based on Bilu-Tichy method.
