Abstract

Let β\beta be a non-unit real algebraic integer greater than one and {an}n0\{a_{n}\}_{n \geq 0} be a sequence satisfying a linear recurrence relation an+3=aan+2+ban+1+cana_{n+3}=aa_{n+2}+ba_{n+1}+ca_{n}. Under certain conditions, we prove that the number of ana_{n} which are palindromic concatenations of two repdigits in base β\beta is finite.
