A Pillai-Catalan-type problem involving Fibonacci numbers

Abstract

This paper addresses A Pillai-Catalan-type problem assosiated with Fibonacci numbers. Let $F_{n}$ be the Fibonacci numbers defined by the recurrence relation $F_{1}=1$, $F_{2}=1$ and $F_{n}=F_{n-1}+F_{n-2}$ for all $n\geq 3$. We will find all positive integer solution to the equation $3^{x}-F_{n}2^{y}=1$ using properties of Fibonacci numbers, linear forms of logarithms, and the Baker-Davenport reduction method.
