Abstract

Let {Pk}k0\left\lbrace P_{k}\right\rbrace_{k\geq0} be the Padovan sequence defined by Pk=Pk2+Pk3P_{k}=P_{k-2}+P_{k-3} with initial values are P0=P1=P2=1P_{0}=P_{1}=P_{2}=1. Let {Rk}k0\left\lbrace R_{k}\right\rbrace_{k\geq0} be the Perrin sequence defined by Rk=Rk2+Rk3R_{k}=R_{k-2}+R_{k-3} with initial values are R0=3R_{0}=3, R1=0R_{1}=0, R2=2R_{2}=2. And let {Jn}n0\left\lbrace J_{n}\right\rbrace_{n\geq0} be the Jacobsthal sequence defined by Jn=2Jn1+Jn2J_n=2J_{n-1}+J_{n-2} with initials J0=0J_0=0, J1=1J_1=1. In this paper we determine all Padovan and Perrin numbers which are sum of two Jacobsthal number.
