Observational analysis finds bounds on zero terms and growth order in integers represented by Lucas sequences, suggesting novel potential in recursive sequences.
This paper is the continuation of Hajdu and Tijdeman (Ramanujan J 66:Article 74, 2025), where we deal with Lucas sequences. Here we study integers represented by integer sequences which satisfy binary recursive relations. In the case of non-degenerate sequences we give an upper bound on the largest index of a zero term and bounds on the growth order of the absolute values of the terms, both only in terms of the two initial values, which is a novel feature. Some of these bounds are best possible apart from a multiplicative constant.
