On the x--coordinates of Pell equations which are products of two: Lucas numbers, Pell numbers

Abstract: Let

{L_{n}}_{n g e 0}

be the sequence of Lucas numbers given by

L_{0} = 2, L_{1} = 1

and

L_{n + 2} = L_{n + 1} + L_{n}

for all

n g e 0

. In the first paper, for an integer

d g e q 2

which is square-free, we show that there is at most one value of the positive integer

x

participating in the Pell equation

x^{2} - d y^{2} = p m 1

which is a product of two Lucas numbers, with a few exceptions that we completely characterize. Let

{P_{m}}_{m g e 0}

be the sequence of Pell numbers given by

P_{0} = 0, P_{1} = 1

and

P_{m + 2} = 2 P_{m + 1} + P_{m}

for all

m g e 0

. In the second paper, for an integer

d g e q 2

which is square free, we show that there is at most one value of the positive integer

x

participating in the Pell equation

x^{2} - d y^{2} = p m 1

which is a product of two Pell numbers.
