Pillai's problem with k-Fibonacci and Pell numbers

Abstract

The k-Fibonacci sequence starts with the values (a total of k terms) and each term afterwards is the sum of the k preceding terms. In this paper, we find all integers c having at least two representations as a difference between a k-Fibonacci number and a Pell number. This paper continues and extends the previous work of [J.J. Bravo, C.A. Gómez, and J.L. Herrera, On the intersection of k-Fibonacci and Pell numbers, Bull. Korean Math. Soc. 56(2) (2019), pp. 535–547; S. Hernández, F. Luca, and L.M.
