Abstract: Let

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

and

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

be the Fibonacci and Lucas sequences, respectively. In this paper we determine all Fibonacci numbers which are mixed concatenations of a Fibonacci and a Lucas numbers. By mixed concatenations of

a

and

b

, we mean the both concatenations

o v e r l i n e a b

and

o v e r l i n e b a

together, where

a

and

b

are any two non negative integers. So, the mathematical formulation of this problem leads us searching the solutions of two Diophantine equations

F_{n} = 1 0^{d} F_{m} + L_{k}

and

F_{n} = 1 0^{d} L_{m} + F_{k}

in non-negative integers

(n, m, k),

where

d

denotes the number of digits of

L_{k}

and

F_{k}

, respectively. We use lower bounds for linear forms in logarithms and reduction method in Diophantine approximation to get the results.
