Abstract

Let us denote by FnF_n the nn-th Fibonacci number. In this paper we show that for a fixed integer yy there exists at most one integer exponent a>0a>0 such that the Diophantine equation Fn+Fm=yaF_n+F_m=y^a has a solution (n,m,a)(n,m,a) in positive integers satisfying n>m>0n>m>0, unless y=2,3,4,6y=2,3,4,6 or 1010.
