Abstract
For an integer , let be the --generalized Fibonacci sequence which starts with ( terms) and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding terms. In this paper, we find all integers having at least two representations as a difference between a --generalized Fibonacci number and a powers of 2 for any fixed . This paper extends previous work from [9] for the case and [6] for the case .
