The corrected Cao–Dong conjecture

About 6 years old · traced to

Let a,b,c,l,m,na,b,c,l,m,n satisfy

al+bm=cn,min⁡{a,b,c,l,m,n}>1,gcd⁡(a,b)=1,a≡0(mod2).a^l+b^m=c^n,\qquad \min\{a,b,c,l,m,n\}>1,\qquad \gcd(a,b)=1,\qquad a\equiv0\pmod{2}.

Corrected Cao–Dong conjecture. The equation

xl+by=czx^l+b^y=c^z

has only the solution (x,y,z)=(a,m,n)(x,y,z)=(a,m,n) subject to min⁡{y,z}>1\min\{y,z\}>1. The survey says that this corrected conjecture has been verified in some cases but is far from solved.
