Uniform explicit Stewart's theorem on prime factors of linear recurrences

Abstract

Stewart (2013) proved that the biggest prime divisor of the nth term of a Lucas sequence of integers grows quicker than n, answering famous questions of Erdos and Schinzel. In this note we obtain a fully explicit and, in a sense, uniform version of Stewart's result.
