Let [U n (P, Q)] and [V n (P, Q)] denote the Lucas sequence and companion Lucas sequence, respectively, with parameters P and Q. For all odd relatively prime values of P and Q such that D=P 2 &4Q is positive, we determine all indices n such that U n (P, Q), 2U n (P, Q), V n (P, Q) or 2V n (P, Q) is
Two or more terms of a sequence are said to be in the same square-class if the squarefree parts of the terms are identical. Let [U n (P, Q)] and [V n (P, Q)] denote the Lucas sequence and companion Lucas sequence, respectively, with parameters P and Q. For all odd relatively prime values of P and Q
Let P and Q be non-zero relatively prime integers. The Lucas sequence fU n Γ°P; QΓg is defined by We show that the only sequence with U 12 Γ°P; QΓ a perfect square is the Fibonacci sequence fU n Γ°1; Γ1Γg; and we show that there are no non-degenerate sequences fU n Γ°P; QΓg with U 9 Γ°P; QΓ a perfect sq
