Abstract
For , the -generalized Fibonacci sequence is defined by the initial values ( terms) and such that each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding terms. In 2005, Noe and Post conjectured that the only solutions of Diophantine equation , with are [(m,n,\ell,k)=(7,6,3,2) and (12,11,7,3).] In this paper, we confirm this conjecture.
