Abstract
- In this paper, by using linear forms in logarithms and the Baker–Davenport reduction procedure we prove that there are no even perfect numbers appearing in generalized Pell sequences. We also deduce some interesting results involving generalized Pell numbers, which we believe are of independent interest. This paper continues a previous work that searched for perfect numbers in the classical Pell sequence.
