Abstract

A KK-Fibonacci sequence is a binary recurrence sequence where F0=0F_0=0, F1=1F_1=1, and Fn=KFn1+Fn2F_n=K\cdot F_{n-1}+F_{n-2}. These sequences are known to be periodic modulo every positive integer greater than 11. If the length of one shortest period of a KK-Fibonacci sequence modulo a positive integer is equal to the modulus, then that positive integer is called a fixed point\textit{fixed point}. This paper determines the fixed points of KK-Fibonacci sequences according to the factorization of K2+4K^2+4 and concludes that if this process is iterated, then every modulus greater than 33 eventually terminates at a fixed point.
