Abstract
We prove that the sequence of reciprocals of the Fibonacci numbers is a moment sequence of a certain discrete probability, and we identify the orthogonal polynomials as little -Jacobi polynomials with . We prove that the corresponding kernel polynomials have integer coefficients, and from this we deduce that the inverse of the corresponding Hankel matrices have integer entries. We prove analogous results for the Hilbert matrices.
