Abstract

Let (Xk)k1(X_{k})_{k\geq 1} and (Yk)k1(Y_k)_{k\geq 1} be the sequence of XX and YY-coordinates of the positive integer solutions (x,y)(x, y) of the equation x2dy2=tx^2 - dy^2 = t. In this paper we completely describe those recurrence sequences such that sums of two terms recurrence sequences in the solution sets of generalized Pell equations are infinitely many. Further, we give an upper bound for the number of such terms when there are only finitely many of them. This work is motivated by the recent paper Hajdu and Sebesty\'en (Int. J. Number Theory 18 (2022), 1605-1612).
