Terai's conjecture with prescribed exponents

Let b,c,r,tb,c,r,t be fixed positive integers satisfying

br+1=2ct,min{b,c}>1,t{1,2}.b^r+1=2c^t,\qquad \min\{b,c\}>1,\qquad t\in\{1,2\}.

Let x,y,zNx,y,z\in\mathbb{N} satisfy x2+by=czx^2+b^y=c^z. Terai's prescribed-exponent conjecture. The only solution is

(x,y,z)=(ct1,r,2t).(x,y,z)=(c^t-1,r,2t).

The conjecture has been verified in several special cases, but the source does not state a general resolution.
