Recently, He, Togband Walsh proved that the Diophantine equation x2-a((bk-1)/(b-1))2=1 has at most three solutions in positive integers. Moreover, they showed that if max{a,b} > 4.76·1051, then there are at most two positive integer solutions (x,k). In this paper, we sharpen their result by proving that this equation always has at most two solutions.展开更多
