The method of infinite ascent applied on 2pA6+B3=C2

Susil Kumar Jena

In this paper, we prove that for any positive integer p, when p 1 (mod 6) or, p 3 (mod 6), the Diophantine equation: 2pA6+B3=C2 has infinitely many co-prime integral solutions A, B, C. When p=0, this equation has only four integral solutions with (A, B, C)= (±1, 2, ±3). For other integer values of p, the problem is open.
