Abstract
The $k$-generalized Fibonacci sequence $\{F_{n}^{(k)}\}_{n}$ starts with the $k$ values $0,\ldots ,0,1$ and each term afterwards is the sum of the $k$ preceding terms. We study which members of this sequence are sums of two repdigts, extending a result of Díaz and Luca (2011) regarding Fibonacci numbers with this property.
