  • This is the second in a series of papers where we combine the classical approach to exponential Diophantine equations (linear forms in logarithms, Thue equations, etc.) with a modular approach based on some of the ideas of the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. In this paper we use a general and powerful new lower bound for linear forms in three logarithms, together with a combination of classical, elementary and substantially improved modular methods to solve completely the Lebesgue–Nagell equation x2 + D = yn, x, y integers, $n\geq 3$, for D in the range $1 \leq D \leq 100$.
