Covers of the integers with odd moduli and their applications to the forms $x^{m}-2^{n}$ and $x^{2}-F_{3n}/2$

In this paper we construct a cover $\{a_{s}(\operatorname{mod} n_{s})\}_{s=1}^{k}$ of $\mathbb{Z}$ with odd moduli such that there are distinct primes $p_{1},\ldots ,p_{k}$ dividing $2^{n_{1}}-1,\ldots ,2^{n_{k}}-1$ respectively. Using this cover we show that for any positive integer $m$ divisible by none of $3, 5, 7, 11, 13$ there exists an infinite arithmetic progression of positive odd integers the $m$th powers of whose terms are never of the form $2^{n}\pm p^{a}$ with $a,n\in \{0,1,2,\ldots \}$ and $p$ a prime. We also construct another cover of $\mathbb{Z}$ with odd moduli and use it to prove that $x^{2}-F_{3n}/2$ has at least two distinct prime factors whenever $n\in \{0,1,2,\ldots \}$ and $x\eq a (\operatorname{mod} M)$, where $\{F_{i}\}_{i\geqslant 0}$ is the Fibonacci sequence, and $a$ and $M$ are suitable positive integers having 80 decimal digits.
