Abstract

Let m, n be positive integers such that m > n, gcd(m,n) = 1 and m ≠ n (mod 2). In 1956, L. Jeśmanowicz' [1] conjectured that the equation has only the positive integer solution (x,y,z) = (2,2,2). This conjecture has been still unsolved. For over twenty years, many papers have investigated Jeśmanowicz' conjecture for the case that (mod 4). In this talk, ombining a lower bound for linear forms in two logarithms due to M. Laurent [2] with some elementary methods in number theory, we prove that if (mod 4) and > 30.8 , then Jeśmanowicz' conjecture is true [5]. This result improves some previous results [3], [4] and [6].
