Fibonacci and Lucas Numbers Associated with Brocard-Ramanujan Equation

Abstract

We explicitly solve the diophantine equations of the form $$ A_{n_1}A_{n_2}\cdots A_{n_k}\pm 1 = B_m^2, $$ where $(A_n)_{n\geq 0}$ and $(B_m)_{m\geq 0}$ are either the Fibonacci sequence or Lucas sequence. This extends the result of D. Marques \cite{Mar} and L. Szalay \cite{Sza} concerning a variant of Brocard-Ramanujan equation.
