Abstract

Let k2 k \geq 2 be an integer. The k k- generalized Fibonacci sequence is a sequence defined by the recurrence relation Fn(k)=Fn1(k)++Fnk(k) F_{n}^{(k)}=F_{n-1}^{(k)} + \cdots + F_{n-k}^{(k)} for all n2 n \geq 2 with the initial values Fi(k)=0 F_{i}^{(k)}=0 for i=2k,,0 i=2-k, \ldots, 0 and F1(k)=1. F_{1}^{(k)}=1. In 2020, Banks and Luca, among other things, determined all Fibonacci numbers which are concatenations of two Fibonacci numbers. In this paper, we consider the analogue of this problem by taking into account k k-generalized Fibonacci numbers as concatenations of two terms of the same sequence. We completely solve this problem for all $ k \geq 3.
