A - B - q^n + r^n = 0, (A, B) co prime, A odd, B even, n odd, gcd (A / q, q) = 1, gcd (B / r, r) = 1

Problem
A - B - q^n + r^n = 0,
(A, B) co prime,
A odd,
B even,
n odd,
gcd (A / q, q) = 1,
gcd (B / r, r) = 1.

I'm not sure about a total set of solutions, but ##n=1##, ##A=q## and ##B=r## is one solution.

It's not explicitly stated, but since ##A##is divisible by ##q## and ##B## is divisible by ##r##, ##q## and ##r## are coprime as well.
