Summary: Let $(L_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be the Lucas sequence. We show that the Diophantine equation $ L_n-L_m=M_k$ has only the nonnegative integer solutions $(n,m,k)= (2,0,1)$, $(3, 1, 2)$, $(3, 2, 1)$, $(4, 3, 2)$, $(5, 3, 3)$, $(6, 2, 4)$, $(6, 5, 3)$ where $ M_k=2^k-1 $ is the $k$th Mersenne number and $ n > m$. (English)
