Abstract
We completely solve the Diophantine equations (for q=17, 29, 41). We also determine all C=p_1^{a_1}\cdots p_k^{a_k} and C=2^{a_0}p_1^{a_1}\cdots p_k^{a_k}, where p_1,\ldots,p_k are fixed primes satisfying certain conditions. The corresponding Diophantine equations x^2+C=y^n may be studied by the method used by Abu Muriefah et al. (2008) and Luca and Togbé (2009).
