Abstract:

Let {Fn}n= 1∞ = {1,1,2,3,...} be the sequence of Fibonacci numbers. In this paper we give some sufficient conditions on a natural number k such that the equation Fn = kFm is solvable with respect to the unknowns n and m. We also show that for k > 1 the equation Fn = kFm has at most one solution (n,m).
