Diophantine equations involving specific number sequences have attracted considerable attention. For instance, studying when a Tribonacci number can be expressed as the product of two Fibonacci numbers is an interesting problem. In this case, the corresponding Diophantine equation has only two nontrivial integer solutions. While finding these solutions is relatively straightforward, proving that no further solutions exist requires a rigorous argument-this is where Baker’s method plays a crucial role. After conducting a comprehensive literature review on the topic, we present our recent results on Diophantine equations involving Fibonacci, Tribonacci, Jacobsthal, and Perrin numbers. Furthermore, as an application of Baker’s method, we will briefly demonstrate how linear forms in logarithms can be effectively applied to Diophantine equations involving Fibonacci-like sequences.
