Abstract
A b-repdigit is a positive integer that has only one distinct digit in its base b expansion, i.e. a number of the form a(bm
– 1)=(b – 1), for some positive integers m ≥ 1, b ≥ 2 and 1 ≤ a ≤ b – 1. Let r; s be non-zero integers with r ≥ 1 and s ∈ {±1}, let {Un
}
n ≥0 be the Lucas sequence given by Un
+2 = rU
n+1 + sU
n
, with U
0 = 0 and U
1 = 1: In this paper, we give effective bounds for the solutions of the Diophantine equation
