On the greatest prime factor of terms of a linear recurrence sequence. (English) Zbl 0583.10006

The paper gives a very good survey of the results which have been obtained concerning the divisors of terms of linear recurrence sequences. The author lists results on primitive prime divisors, the greatest prime factors and the greatest square-free factors of Fibonaccí, Mersenne, Fermat, Lucas and Lehmer numbers and of terms of linear recurrences of order k (\(\geq 2)\). 49 references complete the paper.
