The Fibonacci sequence, $F_n = F_{n - 1} + F_{n - 2}$, and its counterpart for $n < 0$, the negaFibonacci sequence, $F_{-n} = (-1)^{n + 1} \cdot F_n$, are among the most studied sequences in mathematics. In this paper we will present a new…

A random Fibonacci sequence is defined by the relation g_n = | g_{n-1} +/- g_{n-2} |, where the +/- sign is chosen by tossing a balanced coin for each n. We generalize these sequences to the case when the coin is unbalanced (denoting by p…

By using definition of Golden derivative, corresponding Golden exponential function and Fibonomial coefficients, we introduce generating functions for Bernoulli-Fibonacci polynomials and related numbers. Properties of these polynomials and…

The close relationship among the polynomial functions and Fibonacci numerical sequences is shown in this paper. These numerical sequences are defined by the recurrence equation $x_{k + n} = \displaystyle\sum_{j = 0}^{n-1}\alpha_j x_{k +…

Mignosi, Restivo, and Salemi (1998) proved that for all $\epsilon > 0$ there exists an integer $N$ such that all prefixes of the Fibonacci word of length $\geq N$ contain a suffix of exponent $\alpha^2-\epsilon$, where $\alpha =…

An amusing connection between Ford circles, Fibonacci numbers, and golden ratio is shown. Namely, certain tangency points of Ford circles are concyclic and involve Fibonacci numbers. They form four circles that cut the x-axis at points…

We study growth rates of generalised Fibonacci sequences of a particular structure. These sequences are constructed from choosing two real numbers for the first two terms and always having the next term be either the sum or the difference…

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…

A generalization of the well--known Fibonacci sequence is the $k$--Fibonacci sequence with some fixed integer $k\ge 2$. The first $k$ terms of this sequence are $0,\ldots,0,1$, and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding $k$ terms.…

We speculate on the distribution of primes in exponentially growing, linear recurrence sequences $(u_n)_{n\geq 0}$ in the integers. By tweaking a heuristic which is successfully used to predict the number of prime values of polynomials, we…

We show how the generalized Lambert series sum(n>=1, x*q^n/(1-x*q^n)) can be computed with Theta convergence. This allows the computation of the sum of the inverse Fibonacci numbers without splitting the sum into even and odd part. The…

We conjecture a Fibonacci-like property on the number of numerical semigroups of a given genus. Moreover we conjecture that the associated quotient sequence approaches the golden ratio. The conjecture is motivated by the results on the…

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…

We consider the generalized Fibonacci counting problem with rabbits that become fertile at age $f$ and die at age $d$, with $1<=f<=d$ and $d$ finite or infinite. We provide a simple proof, based exclusively on a counting argumentation, for…

We consider a sequence of sums of powers of the the roots of the cubic equation characterizing the Tribonacci sequences and derive its relationship with a particular Tribonacci sequence. Then we make a conjecture on the possible…

We consider random Fibonacci sequences given by $x_{n+1}=\pm \beta x_{n}+x_{n-1}$. Viswanath (\cite{viswanath}), following Furstenberg (\cite{furst}) showed that when $\beta = 1$, $\lim_{n\to \infty}|x_{n}|^{1/n}=1.13...$, but his proof…

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…

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relationship between prime numbers and sums of Fibonacci numbers. One of our main results says that for every sufficiently large integer $k$ there exists a prime number that can be represented as…

A re-calculation of a known family of formulas of PI is carried out, revisiting the old Archimedes' algorithm. This allows to identify a general family equation and three new simple formulas of Pi in terms of the golden ratio PHI in 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…
