Abstract
Summary:Let $d$ be a fixed positive integer. A Lucas $d$-pseudoprime is a Lucas pseudoprime $N$ for which there exists a Lucas sequence $U(P,Q)$ such that the rank of $N$ in $U(P,Q)$ is exactly $(N - \varepsilon (N))/d$, where $\varepsilon $ is the signature of $U(P,Q)$. We prove here that all but a finite number of Lucas $d$-pseudoprimes are square free. We also prove that all but a finite number of Lucas $d$-pseudoprimes are Carmichael-Lucas numbers
