Abstract:
The complete solution in $(n,{y_1},{y_2}) \in {{\mathbf {Z}}^3}$ of the Diophantine equation \[ {b_n} = \pm {2^{{y_1}}}{3^{{y_2}}}\] is given, where ${({b_n})_{n \in {\mathbf {Z}}}}$ is Berstel’s recurrence sequence defined by \[ {b_0} = {b_1} = 0,\quad {b_2} = 1,\quad {b_{n + 3}} = 2{b_{n + 2}} - 4{b_{n + 1}} + 4{b_n}.\]References
