A note on the number of solutions of the generalized Ramanujan-Nagell equation x 2 - D = p n

Yuan-e Zhao, Tingting Wang (2012)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let D be a positive integer, and let p be an odd prime with p D . In this paper we use a result on the rational approximation of quadratic irrationals due to M. Bauer, M. A. Bennett: Applications of the hypergeometric method to the generalized Ramanujan-Nagell equation. Ramanujan J. 6 (2002), 209–270, give a better upper bound for N ( D , p ) , and also prove that if the equation U 2 - D V 2 = - 1 has integer solutions ( U , V ) , the least solution ( u 1 , v 1 ) of the equation u 2 - p v 2 = 1 satisfies p v 1 , and D > C ( p ) , where C ( p ) is an effectively computable constant...
