Perfect powers from products of terms in Lucas sequences

Suppose that is a Lucas sequence, and suppose that l 1, … , lt are primes. We show that the equation has only finitely many solutions. Moreover, we explain a practical method of solving these equations. For example, if is the Fibonacci sequence, then we solve the equation under the restrictions: p is prime and m < p.
