On generalized Thabit numbers $(p + 1) p^{a} - 1$ in the $k$ -Lucas sequence

Herbert Batte, Florian Luca, Pantelimon Stănică

Let $k \geq 2$ and ${L_{n}^{(k)}}_{n \geq 2 - k}$ be the sequence of $k$ -Lucas numbers whose first $k$ terms are $0, \dots, 0, 2, 1$ and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding $k…

Product of powers of distinct primes as sums of Fibonacci numbers

Herbert Batte, Florian Luca, Volker Ziegler

Let $F_{n}$ be the $n$ -th Fibonacci number. In this paper, we study the Diophantine equation $F_{n} + F_{m} = p^{x} q^{y}$ in nonnegative integers $n \geq m$ , $x$ and $y$ , where $p$ and $q$ are fix…

On the discriminator of Lucas sequences. II

Matteo Ferrari, Florian Luca, Pieter Moree

The family of Shallit sequences consists of the Lucas sequences satisfying the recurrence $U_{n + 2} (k) = (4 k + 2) U_{n + 1} (k) - U_{n} (k),$ with initial values $U_{0} (k) = 0$ and $U_{1} (k) = 1$ and w…

Values of the Euler phi-function not divisible by a given odd prime, and the distribution of Euler-Kronecker constants for cyclotomic fields

Kevin Ford, Florian Luca, Pieter Moree

For a fixed odd prime q we investigate the first and second order terms of the asymptotic series expansion for the number of n\le x such that q does not divide phi(n). Part of the…
