We give a combinatorial proof of a formula giving the partial sums of the $k$-bonacci sequence as alternating sums of powers of two multiplied by binomial coefficients. As a corollary we obtain a formula for the $k$-bonacci numbers.

Let $F_n(k)$ be the generalized Fibonacci number defined by (with $F_i(k)$ abbreviated to $F_i$): $F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2} + \dots + F_{n-k}$, for $n \geq k$, and the initial values $(F_0,F_1,...,F_{k-1})$. Let $B_n(k,j)$ be $F_n(k)$ with…

For an integer $k\ge 2$, let $\{F^{(k)}_{n}\}_{n\ge 2-k}$ be the $ k$--generalized Fibonacci sequence which starts with $0, \ldots, 0,1$ (a total of $k$ terms) and for which each term afterwards is the sum of the $k$ preceding terms. In…

In this paper, we present a further generalization of the bi- periodic Fibonacci quaternions and octonions. We give the generating function, the Binet formula, and some basic properties of these quaternions and octonions. The results of…

Let $k\ge 2$ and $\{F_n^{(k)}\}_{n\geq 2-k}$ be the sequence of $k$--generalized Fibonacci numbers whose first $k$ terms are $0,\ldots,0,0,1$ and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding $k$ terms. In this paper, we determine all…

We investigate general properties of number sequences which allow explicit representation in terms of products. We find that such sequences form whole families of number sequences sharing similar recursive identities. Restricting to the…

In this paper we study how to accelerate the convergence of the ratios (x_n) of generalized Fibonacci sequences. In particular, we provide recurrent formulas in order to generate subsequences (x_{g_n}) for every linear recurrent sequence…

We study $B(n;k)$, the number of ways of writing $n$ as a sum or difference of the first $k$ Fibonacci numbers. We show that $B(0;k)$ satisfies the Tribonacci-like recurrence $B(0;k+1)=B(0;k)+B(0;k-1)+B(0;k-2)$ and that $B(n;k)$ satisfies a…

In this article we present a new recurrence formula for a finite sum involving the Fibonacci sequence. Furthermore, we state an algorithm to compute the sum of a power series related to Fibonacci series, without the use of term-by-term…

The aim of this paper consists of providing summation formulas for the $k$-Fibonacci numbers ($k \in \mathbb{Z}$, $k \geq 2$) and their asymptotic equivalents in terms of generalized binomial coefficients. Our main tools are the Lagrange…

In this study, we apply the binomial transforms to Tribonacci and Tribonacci-Lucas sequences. Also, the Binet formulas, summations, generating functions of these transforms are found using recurrence relations. Finally, we illustrate the…

We show that if $k\ge 2$ is an integer and $(F_n^{(k)})_{n\ge 0}$ is the sequence of $k$-generalized Fibonacci numbers, then there are only finitely many triples of positive integers $1<a<b<c$ such that $ab+1,~ac+1,~bc+1$ are all members of…

The Fibonacci numbers are familiar to all of us. They appear unexpectedly often in mathematics, so much there is an entire journal and a sequence of conferences dedicated to their study. However, there is also another sequence of numbers…

Various families of octonion number sequences (such as Fibonacci octonion, Pell octonion and Jacobsthal octonion) have been established by a number of authors in many different ways. In addition, formulas and identities involving these…

In this paper, we prove identities for members of the k-generalized Fibonacci sequence with negative indices and we apply these identities to deduce an exact formula for its zero-multiplicity.

We introduce the $k$-bonacci polyominoes, a new family of polyominoes associated with the binary words avoiding $k$ consecutive $1$'s, also called generalized $k$-bonacci words. The polyominoes are very entrancing objects, considered in…

In this paper, we give quadratic approximation of generalized Tribonacci sequence $\{V_{n}\}_{n\geq0}$ defined by Eq. (\ref{eq:7}) and use this result to give the matrix form of the $n$-th power of a companion matrix of…

In this article, we present a trick around Fibonacci numbers which can be found in several magic books. It consists in computing quickly the sum of the successive terms of a Fibonacci-like sequence. We give explanations and extensions of…

For $k\geq 2$, the $k$-generalized Fibonacci sequence $(F_n^{(k)})_{n}$ is defined by the initial values $0,0,...,0,1$ ($k$ terms) and such that each term afterwards is the sum of the $k$ preceding terms. In 2005, Noe and Post conjectured…

In this paper, we consider the generalized Fibonacci quaternion which is the Horadam quaternion sequence. Then we used the Binet's formula to show some properties of the Horadam quaternion. We get some generalized identities of the Horadam…
