Positive Integer Solutions of the Pell Equation x2-dy2=N, % d∈ \k2 4,k2 1\ and $N∈ \ 1, 4\

Abstract

Let \ k be a natural number and d=k2 4 or k2 1. In this paper, by using continued fraction expansion of d, we find fundamental solution of the equations x2-dy2= 1 and we get all positive integer solutions of the equations x2-dy2= 1 in terms of generalized Fibonacci and Lucas sequences. Moreover, we find all positive integer solutions of the equations x2-dy2= 4 in terms of generalized Fibonacci and Lucas sequences. Although some of the results are well known, we think our method is elementary and different from the others.
