We prove that in a sense the principle is valid for \"almost all\" equations. Based upon this we propose a general method for the solution of exponential diophantine equations. Using a generalization of a result of Erd\\H{o}s, Pomerance and Schmutz concerning Carmichael's $\\lambda$ function, we can make our search systematic for certain moduli needed in the method.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-07-24T09:02:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "exponential diophantine equations", "hasse-type principle", "applications", "skolems conjecture", "general method" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1407.6499B" } } }
