Abstract
Let be a linear recurrence sequence of order satisfying for all integers , where with . In 2017, Sanna posed an open question to classify primes for which the quotient set of is dense in . In a recent paper, we showed that if the characteristic polynomial of the recurrence sequence has a root , where is a Pisot number and if is a prime such that the characteristic polynomial of the recurrence sequence is irreducible in , then the quotient set of is dense in . In this article, we answer the problem for certain linear recurrence sequences whose characteristic polynomials are reducible over .
