We give estimates from below for the greatest prime factor of the n-th term of a binary recurrence sequence.
We introduce an elementary congruence-based procedure to look for q-th power multiples in arbitrary binary recurrence sequences (q>2). The procedure allows to prove that no such multiples exist in many instances.
Let $\{u_{n}\}_{n \geq 0}$ be a non-degenerate binary recurrence sequence with positive discriminant. In this paper, we consider the Diophantine equation $u_m + u_n = a_1 n_1! + \cdots + a_k n_k!$ and prove that there are only finitely many effectively computable terms which can be expressed as a sum of factorials. Furthermore, we find the terms of the balancing sequences that can be written as a sum of two factorials.
Let $\{u_{n}\}_{n \geq 0}$ be a non-degenerate binary recurrence sequence with positive, square-free discriminant and $p$ be a fixed prime number. In this paper, we have shown the finiteness result for the solutions of the Diophantine equation $u_{n_{1}} + u_{n_{2}} + \cdots + u_{n_{t}} = p^{z}$ with some conditions on $n_i $ for all $1\leq i \leq t$. Moreover, we explicitly find all the powers of three which are sums of three balancing numbers using the lower bounds for linear forms in logarithms. Further, we use a variant of Baker-Davenport reduction method in Diophantine approximation due t…
Let $ \prod_{i=1}^d (X-α_i Y) \in{\mathbb C}[X,Y]$ be a binary form and let $ε_1,\dots,ε_d$ be nonzero complex numbers. We consider the family of binary forms $ \prod_{i=1}^d (X-α_i ε_i^aY)$, $a\in {\mathbb Z}$, which we write as $$ X^d-U_1(a)X^{d-1}Y+\cdots+(-1)^{d-1} U_{d-1}(a) XY^{d-1}+(-1)^d U_d(a) Y^d.$$ In this paper we study these sequences $\bigl(U_h(a)\bigr)_{a\in {\mathbb Z}}$ which turn out to be linear recurrence sequences.
Let $\{ {U_{n}\}_{n \geq 0} }$ be a non-degenerate binary recurrence sequence with positive discriminant. Let $\{p_1,\ldots, p_s\}$ be fixed prime numbers and $\{b_1,\ldots ,b_s\}$ be fixed non-negative integers. In this paper, we obtain the finiteness result for the solution of the Diophantine equation $U_{n_{1}} + \cdots + U_{n_{t}} = b_1 p_1^{z_1} + \cdots+ b_s p_s^{z_s} $ under certain assumptions. Moreover, we explicitly solve the equation $F_{n_1}+ F_{n_2}= 2^{z_1} +3^{z_2}$, in non-negative integers $n_1, n_2, z_1, z_2$ with $z_2\geq z_1$. The main tools used in this work are the lower …
In this paper, we present a method for estimating the least common multiple of a large class of binary linear recurrence sequences. Let $P,Q,R_0$, and $R_1$ be fixed integers and let $\boldsymbol{R}=\left(R_n\right)_{n}$ be the recurrence sequence defined by $R_{n+2}=PR_{n+1}-QR_{n}$ $(\forall n\geq 0)$. Under some conditions on the parameters, we determine a rational nontrivial divisor for $L_{k,n}:=\mathrm{lcm}\left(R_k,R_{k+1},\dots,R_n\right)$, for all positive integers $n$ and $k$, such that $n\geq k$. As consequences, we derive nontrivial effective lower bounds for $L_{k,n}$ and we estab…
Given a sequence of distinct positive integers $w_0 , w_1, w_2, \ldots$ and any positive integer $n$, we define the discriminator function $\mathcal{D}_{\bf w}(n)$ to be the smallest positive integer $m$ such that $w_0,\ldots, w_{n-1}$ are pairwise incongruent modulo $m$. In this paper, we classify all binary recurrent sequences $\{w_n\}_{n\geq 0}$ consisting of different integer terms such that $\mathcal{D}_{\bf w}(2^e)=2^e$ for every $e\geq 1.$ For all of these sequences it is expected that one can actually give a fairly simple description of $\mathcal{D}_{\bf w}(n)$ for every $n\ge 1.$ For …
Let $u_k$ be a Lucas sequence. A standard technique for determining the perfect powers in the sequence $u_k$ combines bounds coming from linear forms in logarithms with local information obtained via Frey curves and modularity. The key to this approach is the fact that the equation $u_k=x^n$ can be translated into a ternary equation of the form $a y^2=b x^{2n}+c$ (with $a$, $b$, $c \in \mathbb{Z}$) for which Frey curves are available. In this paper we consider shifted powers in Lucas sequences, and consequently equations of the form $u_k=x^n+c$ which do not typically correspond to ternary equa…

For every positive integer $n$ and every $δ\in [0,1]$, let $B(n, δ)$ denote the probabilistic model in which a random set $A \subseteq \{1, \dots, n\}$ is constructed by choosing independently every element of $\{1, \dots, n\}$ with probability $δ$. Moreover, let $(u_k)_{k \geq 0}$ be an integer sequence satisfying $u_k = a_1 u_{k - 1} + a_2 u_{k - 2}$, for every integer $k \geq 2$, where $u_0 = 0$, $u_1 \neq 0$, and $a_1, a_2$ are fixed nonzero integers; and let $α$ and $β$, with $|α| \geq |β|$, be the two roots of the polynomial $X^2 - a_1 X - a_2$. Also, assume that $α/ β$ is not a root of …
This thesis is about the study of Diophantine equations involving binary recurrent sequences with arithmetic functions. Various Diophantine problems are investigated and new results are found out of this study. Firstly, we study several questions concerning the intersection between two classes of non-degenerate binary recurrence sequences and provide, whenever possible, effective bounds on the largest member of this intersection. Our main study concerns Diophantine equations of the form $φ(|au_n |)=|bv_m|,$ where $φ$ is the Euler totient function, $\{u_n\}_{n\geq 0}$ and $\{v_m\}_{m\geq 0}$ ar…
The balancing numbers $B_n$ ($n=0,1,\cdots$) are solutions of the binary recurrence $B_n=6B_{n-1}-B_{n-2}$ ($n\ge 2$) with $B_0=0$ and $B_1=1$. In this paper we show several relations about the sums of product of two balancing numbers of the type $\sum_{m=0}^n B_{k m+r}B_{k(n-m)+r}$ ($k>r\ge 0$) and the alternating sum of reciprocal of balancing numbers $\left\lfloor\left(\sum_{k=n}^\infty\frac{1}{B_{l k}}\right)^{-1}\right\rfloor$. Similar results are also obtained for Lucas-balancing numbers $C_n$ ($n=0,1,\cdots$), satisfying the binary recurrence $C_n=6C_{n-1}-C_{n-2}$ ($n\ge 2$) with $C_0=…
