Abstract

We show that if k2k\ge 2 is an integer and (Fn(k))n0(F_n^{(k)})_{n\ge 0} is the sequence of kk-generalized Fibonacci numbers, then there are only finitely many triples of positive integers 1<a<b<c1<a<b<c such that ab+1, ac+1, bc+1ab+1,~ac+1,~bc+1 are all members of {Fn(k):n1}\{F_n^{(k)}: n\ge 1\}. This generalizes a previous result (cf. arXiv:1508.07760) where the statement for k=3k=3 was proved. The result is ineffective since it is based on Schmidt's subspace theorem.
