Abstract
The Lucas polynomials, , are polynomials in and given by for with and . The lucanomial coefficients, an analogue of the binomial coefficients, are given by When then and the lucanomial coefficient becomes the fibonomial coefficient The well-known Narayana numbers, satisfy the equation In 2018, Bennett, Carrillo, Machacek and Sagan defined the generalized Narayana numbers and conjectured that these numbers are positive integers for . In this paper we define the FiboNarayana number and give a new recurrence relation for both the FiboNarayana numbers and the generalized Narayana numbers, proving the conjecture that these are positive integers for .
