$$k-$$Fibonacci powers as sums of powers of some fixed primes
2021
Let $$S=\{p_{1},\ldots ,p_{t}\}$$
be a fixed finite set of prime numbers listed in increasing order. In this paper, we prove that the Diophantine equation $$(F_n^{(k)})^s=p_{1}^{a_{1}}+\cdots +p_{t}^{a_{t}}$$
, in integer unknowns $$n\ge 1$$
, $$s\ge 1,~k\ge 2$$
and $$a_i\ge 0$$
for $$i=1,\ldots ,t$$
such that $$\max \left\{ a_{i}: 1\le i\le t\right\} =a_t$$
has only finitely many effectively computable solutions. Here, $$F_n^{(k)}$$
is the nth k–generalized Fibonacci number. We compute all these solutions when $$S=\{2,3,5\}$$
. This paper extends the main results of [15] where the particular case $$k=2$$
was treated.
