title: The Diophantine equation 8(x) + p(y) = z(2).
abstract: Let p be a fixed odd prime. Using certain results of exponential Diophantine equations, we prove that (i) if p ≡ ± 3(mod  8), then the equation 8 (x) + p (y) = z (2) has no positive integer solutions (x, y, z); (ii) if p ≡ 7(mod  8), then the equation has only the solutions (p, x, y, z) = (2 (q) - 1, (1/3)(q + 2), 2, 2 (q) + 1), where q is an odd prime with q ≡ 1(mod  3); (iii) if p ≡ 1(mod  8) and p ≠ 17, then the equation has at most two positive integer solutions (x, y, z).
