On Pell numbers representable as product of two generalized Fibonacci numbers
Abstract
A generalization of the well-known Fibonacci sequence is the -Fibonacci sequence with some fixed integer . The first terms of this sequence are , and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding terms. In this paper, we find all Pell numbers that can be written as a product of two -Fibonacci numbers. The proof of our main theorem uses lower bounds for linear forms in logarithms, properties of continued fractions, and a variation of a result of Dujella and Peth\H{o} in Diophantine approximation. This work generalizes a prior result of Alekseyev which dealt with determining the intersection of the Fibonacci and Pell sequences, a work of Ddamulira, Luca and Rakotomalala who searched for Pell numbers which are products of two Fibonacci numbers, and a result of Bravo, G\'omez, and Herrera, who found all Pell numbers appearing in the -Fibonacci sequence.
