A weighted extension of Fibonacci numbers

Combinatorics 2023-01-20 v1 Classical Analysis and ODEs Number Theory

Abstract

We extend Fibonacci numbers with arbitrary weights and generalize a dozen Fibonacci identities. As a special case, we propose an elliptic extension which extends the qq-Fibonacci polynomials appearing in Schur's work. The proofs of most of the identities are combinatorial, extending the proofs given by Benjamin and Quinn, and in the qq case, by Garrett. Some identities are proved by telescoping.
