Connecting the Stirling numbers and $k$-bonacci sums

Combinatorics 2024-07-29 v1

Abstract

This paper proves why the Stirling numbers show up in a experimentally determined formula for the kk-bonaccis. We develop a bijection between a previously determined summation formula for kk-bonaccis and an experimentally determined formula, proven algebraically.
