Abstract

In this paper, we search all repdigits which are products of arbitrary three terms of $k$-generalized Lucas sequences. Thus, we find all nonnegative integer solutions of the Diophantine equation $L_n^{(k)} L_m^{(k)} L_l^{(k)}=a\left(\frac{10^d-1}{9}\right)$, where $n \geq m \geq l \geq 0$ and $1 \leq a \leq 9$ for all $k \geq 2$ and $d \geq 1$.
