Abstract

Let $P{\geq}3$ be an integer and let ($U_n$) and ($V_n$) denote generalized Fibonacci and Lucas sequences defined by $U_0=0$, $U_1=1$; $V_0= 2$, $V_1=P$, and $U_{n+1}=PU_n-U_{n-1}$, $V_{n+1}=PV_n-V_{n-1}$ for $n{\geq}1$. In this study, when P is odd, we solve the equations $V_n=kx^2$ and $V_n=2kx^2$ with k | P and k > 1. Then, when k | P and k > 1, we solve some other equations such as $U_n=kx^2$, $U_n=2kx^2$, $U_n=3kx^2$, $V_n=kx^2{\mp}1$, $V_n=2kx^2{\mp}1$, and $U_n=kx^2{\mp}1$. Moreover, when P is odd, we solve the equations $V_n=wx^2+1$ and $V_n=wx^2-1$ for w = 2, 3, 6. After that, we solve some Diophantine equations.
