Let r≥4 be a positive intger. Let us consider the difference non-autonomous equation:

u_{n+1}=(1+r^{2n+1})u_{n}-r^{2n-1}u_{n-1}+2 \tag......................{*}

All solutions of (*) have the form:

u_{n}=\sum_{m=1}^{n}\left(2(m-1)+u_1-ru_0\right)r^{n^2-m^2}+u_0r^{n^2}.....(**)

where u_0,u_1 are the initial conditions. All solutions of (*) tends toward infinity.

I have the followind question:

1) Find sufficient and necessary conditions in which u_{n} is an integer.

2) Is this claim correct:

Assume that there exist positive integers n, i,j,k and two initial conditions u_0,u_1 such that: 

u_{n-1}=i

u_{n}=j

u_{n+1}=k...............(***)

Then there exist infinitely many n verifying similar equalities to (***).
