We solve a 1985 challenge problem posed by Lagarias [5] by determining, under GRH, the density of the set of prime numbers that occur as divisor of some term of the sequence defined by the linear recurrence and the initial values and . This is the first example of a ænon-torsionÆ second order recurrent sequence with irreducible recurrence relation for which we can determine the associated density of prime divisors.
Nous donnons une solution à un problème posé par Lagarias [5] en 1985, en déterminant sous GRH la densité de l’ensemble des nombres premiers qui sont des diviseurs de termes de la suite définie par et la relation de récurrence . Cela donne le premier exemple d’une suite de récurrence d’ordre qui n’est pas æà torsionÆ pour laquelle on sait déterminer la densité associée des diviseurs premiers.
