Abstract
Let us denote by the n-th Fibonacci number. In this paper we show that there exist at most finitely many integers c such that the exponential Diophantine equation has more than one solution with . Moreover, in the case that we find all integers c such that the Diophantine equation has at least three solutions and in the case that we find all integers c such that the Diophantine equation has at least four solutions.
