Abstract

For an integer $d\geq 2$ which is not a square, we show that there is at most one positive integer $x$ appearing in a solution of the Pell equation $x^2-dy^2=\pm 4$ which is a Fibonacci number, except when $d=2, 5$, where we have exactly two values of $x$ being members of the Fibonacci sequence.
