Near-square classification conjecture for binary recurrence sequences
Near-square classification conjecture for binary recurrence sequences
Let and be relatively prime positive integers and put . Define the binary recurrence sequence by , , and . Let and . Near-square classification conjecture. For and or prime, one has if and only if or . This conjecture seeks a uniform classification of terms in binary recurrence sequences that are a square or a prime multiple of a square; the stated exceptional quadruples are the only cases asserted by the conjecture.
