Number Theory 2023-11-27 v1

Abstract

Let (Ln(k))n2k(L_n^{(k)})_{n\geq 2-k} be the sequence of kk-generalized Lucas numbers for some fixed integer k2k\ge 2, whose first kk terms are 0,    ,  0,  2,  10,\;\ldots\;,\;0,\;2,\;1 and each term afterward is the sum of the preceding kk terms. In this paper, we find all pairs of the kk-generalized Lucas numbers that are multiplicatively dependent.
