Abstract
Let l,m,r be fixed positive integers such that 2 vertical bar l, 3 lm, l > r and 3 vertical bar r. In this paper, using the BHV theorem on the existence of primitive divisors of Lehmer numbers, we prove that if min{rlm(2) - 1,(l-r)lm(2) + 1} >30, then the equation (rlm(2) - 1)(x) + ((l - r)lm(2) + 1)(y) = (lm)(z) only the positive integer solution (x,y,z) = (1,1,2).
