Abstract
Let \((a, b, c)\) be a primitive Pythagorean triple parameterized as \(a=u^2-v^2, b=2uv, c=u^2+v^2\), where \(u>v>0\) are co-prime and not of the same parity. In 1956, L. Jesmanowicz conjectured that for any positive integer \(n\), the Diophantine equation \((an)^x+(bn)^y=(cn)^z\) has only the positive integer solution \((x,y,z)=(2,2,2)\). In this connection we call a positive integer solution \((x,y,z)\ne (2,2,2)\) with \(n>1\) exceptional. In 1999 M.-H. Le gave necessary conditions for the existence of exceptional solutions which were refined recently by H. Yang and R.-Q. Fu. In this paper we give a unified simple proof of the theorem of Le-Yang-Fu. Next we give necessary conditions for the existence of exceptional solutions in the case \(v=2,\ u\) is an odd prime. As an application we show the truth of the Jesmanowicz conjecture for all prime values \(u < 100\).
