Abstract

Let k,l2k,l\geq2 be fixed integers. In this paper, firstly, we prove that all solutions of the equation (x+1)k+(x+2)k+...+(lx)k=yn(x+1)^{k}+(x+2)^{k}+...+(lx)^{k}=y^{n} in integers x,y,nx,y,n with x,y1,n2x,y\geq1, n\geq2 satisfy n<C1n<C_{1} where C1=C1(l,k)C_{1}=C_{1}(l,k) is an effectively computable constant. Secondly, we prove that all solutions of this equation in integers x,y,nx,y,n with x,y1,n2,k3x,y\geq1, n\geq2, k\neq3 and l0(mod2)l\equiv0 \pmod 2 satisfy max{x,y,n}<C2\max\{x,y,n\}<C_{2} where C2C_{2} is an effectively computable constant depending only on kk and ll.
