Abstract

For any positive integer $k\geq 2$, let $(P_n^{(k)})_{n\geq 2-k}$ be the $k$-generalized Pell sequence which starts with $0,\cdots ,0,1$ ($k$ terms) with the linear recurrence $$ P_{n}^{(k)} = 2P_{n-1}^{(k)}+P_{n-2}^{(k)}+\cdots +P_{n-k}^{(k)}\quad \text {for}\ n\geq 2. $$ Let $(N_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be Narayana's sequence given by $$ N_0=N_1=N_2=1\quad \text {and}\quad N_{n+3}=N_{n+2}+N_{n}. $$ The purpose of this paper is to determine all $k$-Pell numbers which are sums of two Narayana's numbers. More precisely, we study the Diophantine equation $$ P_p^{(k)}=N_n+N_m $$ in nonnegative integers $k$, $p$, $n$ and $m$.
