In 1993, N. Terai conjectured that the equation x(2) + (f(2) - g(2))(y) = (f(2) + g(2))(z) has only one positive integer solution (x, y, z) = (2 fg, 2, 2). This is a problem that has not been solved yet. In this paper, using elementary number theory methods with some known results on higher Diophantine equations, we prove that if f = 2(r)s and g = 1, where r, s are positive integers satisfying 2 inverted iota s, r >= 2 and s < 2(r-)(1), then Terai's conjecture is true.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPolynomial-exponential diophantine equationGeneralized ramanujan-nagell equationPrimitive pythagorean tripleScience & technologyPhysical sciencesMathematicsStatistics & probabilityA note on terai's conjecture concerning primitive pythagorean triplesArticle00068795430000191191750410.15672/hujms.7958892651-477X
