S-parts of sums of terms of linear recurrence sequences

Abstract: Let

S = p_{1}, l d o t s, p_{s}

be a finite, non-empty set of distinct prime numbers and

(U_{n})_{n g e q 0}

be a linear recurrence sequence of integers of order

r

. For any positive integer

k,

we define

(U_{j}^{(k)})_{j g e q 1}

an increasing sequence composed of integers of the form

U_{n_{k}} + c d o t s + U_{n_{1}}, n_{k} > c d o t s > n_{1}

. Under certain assumptions, we prove that for any

e p s i l o n > 0,

there exists an integer

n_{0}

such that

[U_{j}^{(k)}]_{S} < l e f t (U_{j}^{(k)} i g h t)^{e p s i l o n},

for

j > n_{0},

where

[m]_{S}

denote the

S

-part of the positive integer

m

. On further assumptions on

(U_{n})_{n g e q 0},

we also compute an effective bound for

[U_{j}^{(k)}]_{S}

of the form

l e f t (U_{j}^{(k)} i g h t)^{1 - c}

, where

c

is a positive constant depends only on

(U_{n})_{n g e q 0}

and

S .
