Find all integer solutions to $\displaystyle{2^k = 9^m+7^n}$ I can only find the trivial ones
$(m,n,k)$ as $(0,0,1), (1,1,4)$
Cannot find any more.  Are there any more values?  More imporantly how to show those are the only ones.

Suppose $m>0$. 
If $2^k = 9^m + 7^n$, then $2^k \equiv 1 \pmod 3$, thus $k \equiv 0 \pmod 2$.
Put $k = 2l$ : $7^n = 4^l - 9^m = (2^l - 3^m)(2^l + 3^m)$.
If $(2^l - 3^m) > 1$, then both factors are multiples of $7$, and thus so is $3^m$, which is impossible.
Thus $2^l - 3^m = 1$. The only solution to this is $l=2$ and $m=1$ which gives the $(1,1,4)$ solution.
If $m=0$ then we need $2^k - 7^n = 1$, and the only solutions to this are $k=1,n=0$ and $k=3,n=1$ which give the solutions $(0,0,1)$ and $(0,1,3)$.
In both cases, we use Catalan's (now proven) conjecture, stating that the only solution to $x^a - y^b = 1$ for $a,b > 1$ is $3^2=1+2^3$.
