Abstract
In this work, we solve the Diophantine equations \( p^x+q^y=z^3 \) in the set of nonnegative integers. We consider twin primes \( p \text { and } q\) having the following forms:
-
(a)
twin primes of the form \( 8N+1 \) and \( 8N+3 \) for some \( N\in \mathbb {N}_0\),
-
(b)
twin primes of the form \( 8N+3 \) and \( 8N+5 \) for some \( N\in \mathbb {N}_0\),
-
(c)
twin primes of the form \( 8N+5 \) and \( 8N+7 \) for some \( N\in \mathbb {N}_0\), and
-
(d)
twin primes of the form \( 8N+7 \) and \( 8N+9 \) for some \( N\in \mathbb {N}_0\).
Theorems are established. Conjectures are provided for further studies.
