Abstract

For an integer k2k\geq 2, let (Fn(k))n(F_{n}^{(k)})_{n} be the kk-Fibonacci sequence which starts with 0,,0,10,\ldots,0,1 (kk terms) and each term afterwards is the sum of the kk preceding terms. In this paper, we search for powers of 2 which are sums of two kk-Fibonacci numbers. The main tools used in this work are lower bounds for linear forms in logarithms and a version of the Baker--Davenport reduction method in diophantine approximation. This paper continues and extends the previous work of \cite{BL2} and \cite{BL13}.
