We speculate on the distribution of primes in exponentially growing, linear recurrence sequences $(u_n)_{n\geq 0}$ in the integers. By tweaking a heuristic which is successfully used to predict the number of prime values of polynomials, we…
Let $a$ and $b$ be relatively prime integers. Then the first Lucas sequence $\left(U_n\right)_{n\geq0}$ and the second Lucas sequence $\left(V_n\right)_{n\geq0}$ are defined respectively by $U_{n+2}=aU_{n+1}+bU_{n},\, U_0=0,\,U_1=1$ and…
For integers $k \geq 2$, the $k$-generalized Lucas sequence $\{L_n^{(k)}\}_{n \geq 2-k}$ is defined by the recurrence relation \[ L_n^{(k)} = L_{n-1}^{(k)} + \cdots + L_{n-k}^{(k)} \quad \text{for } n \geq 2, \] with initial terms given by…
