Abstract
We prove that a non-degenerate simple linear recurrence sequence of polynomials satisfying some further conditions cannot contain arbitrary large powers of polynomials if the order of the sequence is at least two. In other words we will show that for large enough there is no polynomial of degree such that is an element of . The bound for depends here only on the sequence . In the binary case we prove even more. We show that then there is a bound on the index of the sequence such that only elements with index can be a proper power.
