By investigating a recurrence relation about functions, we first give alternative proofs of various identities on Fibonacci numbers and Lucas numbers, and then, make certain well known identities visible via certain trivalent graph…

Classical studies of the Fibonacci sequence focus on its periodicity modulo $m$ (the Pisano periods) with canonical initialization. We investigate instead the complete periodic structure arising from all $m^2$ possible initializations in…

In this paper, we study the existence of solutions of the functional difference equations with proportional delay on deformed generalized Fibonacci polynomials via successive approximation method and Bell polynomials. First, we introduce…

In this first paper, we look at the following question: are the properties of the Fibonacci tree still true if we consider a finitely generated tree by the same rules but rooted at a black node? The direct answer is no, but new properties…

In this expository paper written to commemorate Fibonacci Day 2016, we discuss famous relations involving the Fibonacci sequence, the golden ratio, continued fractions and nested radicals, and show how these fit into a more general…

We study higher-dimensional interlacing Fibonacci sequences, generated via both Chebyshev type functions and $m$-dimensional recurrence relations. For each integer $m$, there exist both rational and integer versions of these sequences,…

We study the growth of polynomials on semialgebraic sets. For this purpose we associate a graded algebra to the set, and address all kinds of questions about finite generation. We show that for a certain class of sets, the algebra is…

In this article we study a generalization of Fibonomials, replacing the Fibonacci sequences by bivariate s-Fibonacci polynomial sequences. We call the obtained objects "Bivariate s-Fibopolynomials".

In this paper, new families of generalized Fibonacci and Lucas numbers are introduced. In addition, we present the recurrence relations and the generating functions of the new families for $k=2$.

Let $p$ be a prime. In this paper, we give a complete classification of self-reciprocal polynomials arising from Fibonacci polynomials over $\mathbb{Z}$ and $\mathbb{Z}_p$, where $p=2$ and $p>5$. We also present some partial results when…

For the Fibonacci numbers $F_n$, we have the self-convolution formula $5 \sum_{i=0}^n F_i F_{n-i} = (2n)F_{n+1} - (n+1)F_n$. We find the corresponding self-convolution formula for the Narayana numbers $R_n$ which satisfy $R_n = R_{n-1} +…

The study describes a class of integer labelings of the Fibonacci tree, the tree of descent introduced by Fibonacci. In these labelings, Fibonacci sequences appear along ascending branches of the tree, and it is shown that the labels at any…

In this note, we obtain some identities for the generalized Fibonacci polynomial by using the Q(x) matrix. These identities including the Cassini identity and Honsberger formula can be applied to some polynomial sequences, such as Fibonacci…

Fontanari et al introduced [Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 218101 (2003)] a model for studying the Muller's ratchet phenomenon in growing asexual populations. They studied two situations, either including or not a death probability for each newborn,…

In this paper, we suggest a lower and an upper bound for the Generalized Fibonacci-p-Sequence, for different values of p. The Fibonacci-p-Sequence is a generalization of the Classical Fibonacci Sequence. We first show that the ratio of two…

The Fibonacci cube $\Gamma_n$ is the subgraph of the hypercube $Q_n$ induced by vertices with no consecutive $1$s. Recently Jianxin Wei and Yujun Yang introduced a one parameter generalization, Fibonacci $p$-cubes $\Gamma_n^p$, which are…

Body-mass growth is usually described by continuous models that represent the gradual increase of mass toward an adult or asymptotic value. In this work, we formulate and test an alternative description based on a Fibonacci-inspired…

We give a simple condition for a linear recurrence (mod 2^w) of degree r to have the maximal possible period 2^(w-1).(2^r-1). It follows that the period is maximal in the cases of interest for pseudo-random number generation, i.e. for…

The regularized product of the Fibonacci numbers is evaluated.

We establish the large deviation probabilities for the height of random recursive trees, revealing polynomial upper-tail decay and stretched-exponential lower-tail decay. Remarkably, the lower tail features an atypical prefactor that grows…
