Integers represented by Lucas sequences

Abstract

In this paper we study the sets of integers which are nn-th terms of Lucas sequences. We establish lower- and upper bounds for the size of these sets. These bounds are sharp for nn sufficiently large. We also develop bounds on the growth order of the terms of Lucas sequences that are independent of the parameters of the sequence, which is a new feature.
