Abstract
Let \(R = \{ {R_n}\} \begin{array}{*{20}{c}} \infty \\ {n = 0} \\ \end{array} \) be a linear recurrent sequence of rational integers defined by the recursion
with coprime integers A,B and initial terms R 0 = 0, R 1 = 1. We suppose that the sequence R is non-degenerate, i.e. α/β is not a root of unity, where α and β are the roots of the characteristic equation \( {x^2} - Ax - B = 0 \).
