Abstract

Let (Un(P,Q)(U_{n}(P,Q) and (Vn(P,Q)(V_{n}(P,Q) denote the generalized Fibonacci and Lucas sequence, respectively. In this study, we assume that Q=1.Q=1. We determine all indices nn such that Un=5U_{n}=5\square and Un=5UmU_{n}=5U_{m}\square under some assumptions on P.P. We show that the equation Vn=5V_{n}=5\square has the solution only if n=1n=1 for the case when % P is odd. Moreover, we show that the equation Vn=5VmV_{n}=5V_{m}\square has no solutions.
