Abstract

Consider the Diophantine equation 2<sup>x</sup> + 2<sup>y</sup> = z<sup>2</sup>, where x, y and z are nonnegative integers. As thisequation has infinitely many solutions, in this paper we study its solutions in case where the unknowns represent Fibonacci and/or Lucas numbers. In other words, we completely resolve the equation in case of (x, y, z) ∈ {(F<sub>i</sub>, F<sub>j</sub> , F<sub>k</sub>),(F<sub>i</sub>, F<sub>j</sub> ,L<sub>k</sub>),(L<sub>i</sub>,L<sub>j</sub> ,L<sub>k</sub>),(L<sub>i</sub>,L<sub>j</sub> , F<sub>k</sub>),(F<sub>i</sub>,L<sub>j</sub> ,L<sub>k</sub>),(F<sub>i</sub>,L<sub>j</sub> , F<sub>k</sub>)} with i, j, k ≥ 1 and F<sub>n</sub> and L<sub>n</sub> denote the general terms of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, respectively.
