In this paper, we show that there are only finitely many Narayana's numbers which can be written as product of three repdigits in base $g$ with $g \geq 2$. Moreover, for $2 \leq g \leq 10$, we determine all these numbers.

Here, we find all positive integer solutions of the Diophantine equation in the title, where $(\mathcal{U}_n)_{n\geqslant 0}$ is the generalized Lucas sequence $\mathcal{U}_0=0, \ \mathcal{U}_1=1$ and $\mathcal{U}_{n+1}=r \mathcal{U}_n +s \mathcal{U}_{n-1}$ with $r$ and $s$ integers such that $\Delta = r^2 +4 s >0$.

Narayana's sequence is a ternary recurrent sequence defined by the recurrence relation $\mathcal{N}_n=\mathcal{N}_{n-1}+\mathcal{N}_{n-3}$ with initial terms $\mathcal{N}_0=0$ and $\mathcal{N}_1=\mathcal{N}_2=\mathcal{N}_3=1$. Let $\rho\geqslant2$ be a positive integer. In this study, it is proved that the $n$th Narayana's number $ \mathcal{N}_n$ which is concatenations of three repdigits in base $\rho$ satisfies $n<5.6\cdot 10^{48}\cdot \log^7\rho$. Moreover, it is shown that the largest Narayana's number which is concatenations of three repdigits in base $\rho$ with $1 \leqslant \rho \leqslant 10$ is $58425=\mathcal{N}_{31}=\overline{3332200}_5=\overline{332223}_7.$

Let $K $ be a nonic number field generated by a complex root $\th$ of a monic irreducible trinomial $ F(x)= x^9+ax+b \in \Z[x]$, where $ab \neq 0$. Let $i(K)$ be the index of $K$. A rational prime $p$ dividing $ i(K)$ is called a prime common index divisor of $K$. In this paper, for every rational prime $p$, we give necessary and sufficient conditions depending only $a$ and $b$ for which $p$ is a common index divisor of $K$. As application of our results we identify infinite parametric families of non-monogenic nonic numbers fields defined by such trinomials. At the end, some numerical examples illustrating our theoretical results are given., Comment: submitted. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:2203.10413, arXiv:2203.07625, arXiv:2206.14345

Let $(F_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be the Fibonacci sequence given by $F_0 = 0, F_1 = 1$ and $F_{n+2} = F_{n+1}+F_n$ for $n \geq 0$. In this paper, we have determined all the powers of 2 which are sums of five Fibonacci numbers with few exceptions that we characterize. We have also stated an open problem relating to the number of solutions of equations like those studied in this paper., Comment: This article was presented at the 20th International Conference on Fibonacci Numbers and their Applications in Bosnia at the University of Sarajevo. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:2202.10127

\noindent In this article, we determine all the integers $c$ having at least two representations as difference between two linear recurrent sequences. This is a variant of the Pillai's equation. This equation is an exponential Diophantine equation. The proof of our main theorem uses lower bounds for linear forms of logarithms, properties of continued fractions, and a version of the Baker-Davenport reduction method in Diophantine approximation.

Let $(L_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be the Lucas sequence given by $L_0 = 2, L_1 = 1$ and $L_{n+2} = L_{n+1}+L_n$ for $n \geq 0$. In this paper, we are interested in finding all powers of three which are sums of two Lucas numbers, i.e., we study the exponential Diophantine equation $L_n + L_m = 3^{a}$ in nonnegative integers $n, m,$ and $a$. The proof of our main theorem uses lower bounds for linear forms in logarithms, properties of continued fractions, and a version of the Baker-Davenport reduction method in Diophantine approximation.
