Abstract

A b-repdigit is a positive integer that has only one distinct digit in its base b expansion, i.e. a number of the form a(bm – 1)=(b – 1), for some positive integers m ≥ 1, b ≥ 2 and 1 ≤ ab – 1. Let r; s be non-zero integers with r ≥ 1 and s ∈ {±1}, let {Un } n ≥0 be the Lucas sequence given by Un +2 = rU n+1 + sU n , with U 0 = 0 and U 1 = 1: In this paper, we give effective bounds for the solutions of the Diophantine equation
