Tribonacci numbers and the Brocard-Ramanujan equation
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 19 (2016) no. 4
Let $(T_{n})_{n\ge 0}$ be the Tribonacci sequence defined by the recurrence $T_{n+2} = T_{n} + T_{n+1}$, with $T_{0} = 0$ and $T_{1} = T_{2} = 1$. In this short note, we prove that there are no integer solutions $(u, m)$ to the Brocard-Ramanujan equation $m! + 1 = u^{2}$ where $u$ is a Tribonacci number.
