Repdigits as Products of Consecutive Pell or Pell–Lucas Numbers
Eric F. Bravo , Jhon J. Bravo
Abstract:   
A positive integer is called a repdigit if it has only one distinct digit in its decimal expansion. In this paper, we find all repdigits that are products of consecutive Pell or Pell–Lucas numbers. This paper continues previous work which dealt with finding occurrences of repdigits in the Pell and Pell–Lucas sequences.
Keywords: Pell and Pell–Lucas number, Repdigit, Linear form in logarithms, Reduction method.
