The Lucas Numbers and other Gibonacci Sequences mod $m$

Abstract

We study Gibonacci sequences mod mm, giving special attention to the Lucas numbers. It is known which mm have the property that the Fibonacci sequence contains all residues mod mm. When mm has this property, we say that the Fibonacci sequence is complete mod mm. We extend this work to all Gibonacci sequences, concluding by determining the set of mm in which a generic Gibonacci sequence containing the relatively prime consecutive terms a,ba, b is complete mod mm.
