Abstract
In this chapter we find all solutions of the Diophantine equation
where ø is the Euler totient function, x and y are integers, and n and j are positive integers such that n ≥ 2. This problem was first solved in [Luca, 2000c]
Natural numbers are no doubt from God, but the devil interspersed them with primes.
Paraphrased quotation of Leopold Kronecker
