A Polynomial Variant of Diophantine Triples in Linear Recurrences

Abstract: Let

(G_{n})_{n = 0}^{i n f t y}

be a polynomial power sum, i.e. a simple linear recurrence sequence of complex polynomials with power sum representation

G_{n} = f_{1} a l p h a_{1}^{n} + c d o t s + f_{k} a l p h a_{k}^{n}

and polynomial characteristic roots

a l p h a_{1}, l d o t s, a l p h a_{k}

. For a fixed polynomial

p

, we consider triples

(a, b, c)

of pairwise distinct non-zero polynomials such that

a b + p, a c + p, b c + p

are elements of

(G_{n})_{n = 0}^{i n f t y}

. We will prove that under a suitable dominant root condition there are only finitely many such triples if neither

f_{1}

nor

f_{1} a l p h a_{1}

is a perfect square.
