abstract

In this paper, we examine the Diophantine problem given by the equation $F_n = F_l^k (F_l^m - 1)$, where $n, l, m \geq 1$ and $k \geq 3$. Here, $\{ F_t \}_{t=0}^{\infty} $ denotes the Fibonacci numbers, defined by the recurrence relation $F_0 = 0$, $F_1 = 1$, and $F_t = F_{t-1} + F_{t-2}$ for $t \geq 2$. By applying Matveev's theorem, which provides lower bounds for linear forms in logarithms of algebraic numbers, along with a modified Baker-Davenport reduction method and a divisibility property of Fibonacci numbers, we show that $(n, l, k, m) = (6, 3, 3, 1)$ is the only positive integer quadruple that satisfies this equation.
