Let P k and Q k be the k th Pell and Pell-Lucas terms of the Pell sequence fP n g n ! 0 and the Pell-Lucas sequence fQ n g n ! 0 , respectively. In this paper, we study the Diophantine equations P n ยผ x a AE x b รพ 1 and Q n ยผ x a AE x b รพ 1, in positive integers (n, x, a, b) and determine the explicit upper bounds for n. We also completely solve these equations in positive integers (n, x, a, b) with 0 b\a and 2 x 20.
