Abstract

In this paper, we show that if (un)n≥1 is a Lucas sequence, then the Diophantine equation un.un+1.....un+k=ym in integers n≥1, k≥1, m≥2 and y with |y|>1 has only finitely many solutions. We also determine all such solutions when (un)n≥1 is the sequence of Fibonacci numbers and when un=(xn-1)/(x-1) for all n≥1 with some integer x>1.
