On a cubic Family of Thue Equations involving Fibonacci Numbers and Powers of Two

Abstract

In this paper we completely solve the family of parametrised Thue equations \[ X(X-F_n Y)(X-2^n Y)-Y^3=\pm 1, \] where $F_n$ is the $n$-th Fibonacci number. In particular, for any integer $n\geq 3$ the Thue equation has only the trivial solutions $(\pm 1,0), (0,\mp 1), \mp(F_n,1), \mp(2^n,1)$.
