On Mixed Concatenations of Pell and Pell-Lucas Numbers which are Pell Numbers

Abstract: Let

(P_{n})_{n g e 0}

and

(Q_{n})_{n g e 0}

be the Pell and Pell-Lucas sequences. Let

b

be a positive integer such that

b g e 2.

In this paper, we prove that the following two Diophantine equations

P_{n} = b^{d} P_{m} + Q_{k}

and

P_{n} = b^{d} Q_{m} + P_{k}

with

d,

the number of digits of

P_{k}

or

Q_{k}

in base

b,

have only finitely many solutions in nonegative integers

(m, n, k, b, d)

. Also, we explicitly determine these solutions in cases

2 l e b l e 10.
