Almost powers in the Lucas sequence

Yann Bugeaud, Florian Luca, Maurice Mignotte, Samir Siksek (2008)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

The famous problem of determining all perfect powers in the Fibonacci sequence ( F n ) n 0 and in the Lucas sequence ( L n ) n 0 has recently been resolved [10]. The proofs of those results combine modular techniques from Wiles’ proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem with classical techniques from Baker’s theory and Diophantine approximation. In this paper, we solve the Diophantine equations L n = q a y p , with a > 0 and p 2 , for all primes q < 1087 and indeed for all but 13 primes q < 10 6 . Here the strategy of [10] is not sufficient due to the sizes of...

An exponential Diophantine equation related to the sum of powers of two consecutive k-generalized Fibonacci numbers

Carlos Alexis Gómez Ruiz, Florian Luca (2014)

Colloquium Mathematicae

A generalization of the well-known Fibonacci sequence F n 0 given by F₀ = 0, F₁ = 1 and F n + 2 = F n + 1 + F for all n ≥ 0 is the k-generalized Fibonacci sequence F ( k ) n - ( k - 2 ) whose first k terms are 0,..., 0, 1 and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding k terms. For the Fibonacci sequence the formula F ² + F ² n + 1 ² = F 2 n + 1 holds for all n ≥ 0. In this paper, we show that there is no integer x ≥ 2 such that the sum of the xth powers of two consecutive k-generalized Fibonacci numbers is again a k-generalized Fibonacci number. This generalizes...

Mathematica Bohemica

We extend an inequality for Fibonacci numbers published by P. G. Popescu and J. L. Díaz-Barrero in 2006.
