Popis: Landau’s conjecture and Shanks’ conjecture state that there are infinitely many prime numbers of the forms x2+1 and x4+1 for some nonzero integer , respectively. In this paper, we present a technique for studying whether or not there are infinitely many prime numbers of the form x2+1 or x4+1 derived from some Lucas sequences of the first kind {Un(P,Q)} (or simply, {Un}) or the second kind {Vn(P,Q)} (or simply, {Vn}) , where P greater or equal to 1 and Q= 1 or -1. Furthermore, as applications we represent the procedure of this technique in case of x is either an integer or a Lucas number of the first or the second kind with x greater or equal to 1 and 1 less or equal to P less or equal to 20.
