In this paper we are concerned with the asymptotic behavior of \[ \operatorname{tr}(\mathcal{L}^+_{\rm sq}) = \frac{1}{4} \sum_{j,k=0 \atop (j,k) \neq (0,0)}^{n-1} \frac{1}{1-\frac{1}{2} \big( \cos \frac{2\pi j}{n} + \cos \frac{2\pi k}{n}…
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 $0,0, \ldots, 1$, and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding $k$ terms.…
We consider the asymptotics of sums of the form $$ \frac1{F_n^\sigma} \sum_{m = 1}^{F_n-1} \frac{f(m/F_n)}{\left|{\sin(\pi m/F_n)}\right|^\sigma} \frac{f(F_{n-1}m/F_n)}{\left|{\sin(\pi F_{n-1}m/F_n)}\right|^\sigma} $$ where $(F_n)_{n \in…
Some applications of a result, which is proved recently, is considered. We first prove three determinantal identities concerning the binomial coefficient and Stirling numbers of the first and the second kind. We also easily obtain the…
In this paper, we discuss a method that utilizes the recurrence of $A_{n,k}$ to solve summations of the form $\sum_{k=n_0}^{n} A_{n,k}$. It is observed that by repeating the procedure, the upper bound of summation is reduced and tilts…
One possible data encryption scheme is related to stream ciphers, which use a sufficiently long pseudo-random sequence. To increase the cryptographic strength of the cipher, linear shift algorithms (generated by linear recurrent sequences…

In this paper, we study the combinatorial sum $$\sum_{k\equiv r(\mbox{mod }m)}{n\choose k}a^k.$$ By studying this sum, we obtain new congruences for Lucas quotients of two infinite families of Lucas sequences. Only for three Lucas…
This paper generalizes a graph theoretic proof technique for a Fibonacci identity proposed by Lee Knisley Sanders, and explores characteristics of these generalized theorems ad infinitum.
The numbers $f_\lambda$ of standard tableaux of shape $\lambda\vdash n$ satisfy 2 fundamental recursions: $f_\lambda = \sum f_{\lambda^-}$ and $(n + 1)f_\lambda=\sum f_{\lambda^+}$, where $\lambda^-$ and $\lambda^+$ run over all shapes…
The aim of this note is to provide a simple proof of some well-known identities and recurrences relating classical Bernoulli and Euler numbers by using the Abel sum of the divergent series $\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^{n} (n+1)^k$, $k$ a…
In this work we prove a new combinatorial identity and applying it we establish many finite harmonic sum identities. Among many others, we prove that \begin{equation*}…
Let $K/k$ be an abelian extension of number fields with a distinguished place of $k$ that splits totally in $K$. In that situation, the abelian rank one Stark conjecture predicts the existence of a unit in $K$, called the Stark unit,…
In this study, we find all Pell and Pell-Lucas numbers which are sums of three base 10 repdigits. The proof of our main theorem uses lower bounds for linear forms in logarithms of algebraic numbers and a version of the Baker-Davenport…
This paper proves why the Stirling numbers show up in a experimentally determined formula for the $k$-bonaccis. We develop a bijection between a previously determined summation formula for $k$-bonaccis and an experimentally determined…
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…
Based on well-known properties of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers and polynomials we give a self-contained approach to some bivariate analogs.
We use the classical umbral calculus to describe Riordan arrays. Here, a Riordan array is generated by a pair of umbrae, and this provides efficient proofs of several basic results of the theory such as the multiplication rule, the…
We prove a universal identity for powers of elements in quadratic algebras, expressing x^m in terms of x and the identity. As a consequence, we obtain a general formula for powers of 2x2 matrices depending only on trace and determinant.…
