Abstract

In this paper, we consider the usual Pell and Pell–Lucas sequences. The Pell sequence [Formula: see text] is given by the recurrence un = 2un-1 + un-2 with initial condition u0 = 0, u1 = 1 and its associated Pell–Lucas sequence [Formula: see text] is given by the recurrence vn = 2vn-1 + vn-2 with initial condition v0 = 2, v1 = 2. Let n, d, k, y, m be positive integers with m ≥ 2, y ≥ 2 and gcd (n, d) = 1. We prove that the only solutions of the Diophantine equation unun+d⋯un+(k-1)d = ym are given by u7 = 132 and u1u7 = 132 and the equation vnvn+d⋯vn+(k-1)d = ym has no solution. In fact, we prove a more general result.
