Lucas Sequences Whose 12th or 9th Term Is a Square
The sequence {Un(1,−1)} is the familiar Fibonacci sequence, and it was proved by Cohn [12] in 1964 that the only perfect square greater than 1 in this sequence is U12 = 144. The question arises, for which parameters P , Q, can Un(P,Q) be a perfect square? This has been studied by several authors: see for example Cohn [13] [14] [15], Ljunggren [22], and Robbins [25]. Using Baker’s method on line...
متن کامل2 6 A ug 2 00 4 Lucas sequences whose 8 th term is a square
For each positive integer n ≤ 7 we describe all Lucas sequences with (P,Q) = 1 having the property that Un(P,Q) is a perfect square. The arguments are elementary. We also find all Lucas sequences such that U8(P,Q) is a perfect square. This reduces to a number of problems of similar type, namely, finding all points on an elliptic curve defined over a quartic number field subject to a “Q-rational...

متن کاملCharacterization and axiomatization of all semigroups whose square is group
In this paper we give a characterization for all semigroups whose square is a group. Moreover, we axiomatize such semigroups and study some relations between the class of these semigroups and Grouplikes,introduced by the author. Also, we observe that this paper characterizes and axiomatizes a class of Homogroups (semigroups containing an ideal subgroup). Finally, several equivalent conditions ...
متن کاملAn Endomorphism Whose Square Is Bernoulli
One of the corollaries of Ornstein’s isomorphism theorem is that if (Y, S, ν) is an invertible measure preserving transformation and (Y, S, ν) is isomorphic to a Bernoulli shift then (Y, S, ν) is isomorphic to a Bernoulli shift. In this paper we show that noninvertible transformations do not share this property. We do this by exhibiting a uniformly 2-1 endomorphism (X, σ, μ) which is not isomor...
