    We deeply investigate the Diophantine equation cx2+d2m+1=2yncx^2+d^{2m+1}=2y^n in integers x,yβ‰₯1,mβ‰₯0x, y\geq 1, m\geq 0 and nβ‰₯3n\geq 3, where cc and dd are given coprime positive integers such that cd≑̸3(mod4)cd\not\equiv 3 \pmod 4. We first solve this equation for prime nn, under the condition n∀h(βˆ’cd)n\nmid h(-cd), where h(βˆ’cd)h(-cd) denotes the class number of the quadratic field Q(βˆ’cd)\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-cd}). We then completely solve this equation for both cc and dd primes under the assumption that gcd⁑(n,h(βˆ’cd))=1\gcd(n, h(-cd))=1. We also completely solve this equation for c=1c=1 and d≑1(mod4)d\equiv1 \pmod 4, under the condition gcd⁑(n,h(βˆ’d))=1\gcd(n, h(-d))=1. For some fixed values of cc and dd, we derive some results concerning the solvability of this equation.Comment: 13 Pages. A minor correction in Theorem 1.2 has been made. Comments are most welcome
