Let $F_{n}$ and $L_n$ be the $n$th Fibonacci and Lucas number, respectively. For each positive integer $m$, the order of appearance of $m$ in the Fibonacci sequence, denoted by $z(m)$, is the smallest positive integer $k$ such that $m$…

In this paper, we show that for any integer $a \geq 2$, each of the intervals $[a^k , a^{k + 1})$ ($k \in \mathbb{N}$) contains either $\left\lfloor \frac{\log a}{\log\Phi}\right\rfloor$ or $\left\lceil \frac{\log a}{\log\Phi}\right\rceil$…

We consider Diophantine quintuples $\{a, b, c, d, e\}$. These are sets of distinct positive integers, the product of any two elements of which is one less than a perfect square. It is conjectured that there are no Diophantine quintuples; we…

A positive quadratic form is $(k,\ell)$-universal if it represents all the numbers $kx+\ell$ where $x$ is a non-negative integer, and almost $(k,\ell)$-universal if it represents all but finitely many of them. We prove that for any $k,\ell$…

It is well-known that for any distinct positive integers $k$ and $n$, the numbers $2^{2^k}+1$ and $2^{2^n}+1$ are relatively prime. In this paper we consider the situation when 1 is replaced by some positive integer $d>1$

A triple (a, b, c) of positive integers is called a Markoff triple iff it satisfies the Diophantine equation a2+b2+c2=abc . Recasting the Markoff tree, whose vertices are Markoff triples, in the framework of integral upper triangular 3x3…

Let $k\geq 2$ and $n\neq 0$. A Diophantine tuple with property $D_k(n)$ is a set of positive integers $A$ such that $ab+n$ is a $k$-th power for all $a,b\in A$ with $a\neq b$. Such generalizations of classical Diophantine tuples have been…

Let $T_{k}$ be the $k^{\textrm{th}}$ Tribonacci number and $L_{n}$ be the $n^{\textrm{th}}$ Lucas number defined by their respective recurrence relation $T_{k}=T_{k-1}+T_{k-2}+T_{k-3}$ and $L_{n}=L_{n-1}+L_{n-2}$. In this study, we solve…

For an integer $k \geq 2$, let $\{ P_{n}^{(k)} \}_{n}$ be the $k$-generalized Pell sequence which starts with $0, \dots,0,1$($k$ terms) and each term afterwards is the sum of $k$ preceding terms. In this paper, we find all the solutions of…

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 +…

A positive integer $n$ is called a balancing number if there exists a positive integer $r$ such that $1 + 2 + \cdots + (n-1) = (n+1) + (n+2) + \cdots + (n+r)$. The corresponding value $r$ is known as the balancer of $n$. If $n$ is a…

By Zeckendorf's Theorem, every positive integer is uniquely written as a sum of non-adjacent terms of the Fibonacci sequence, and its converse states that if a sequence in the positive integers has this property, it must be the Fibonacci…

This paper explores profound generalizations of the Fibonacci sequence, delving into random Fibonacci sequences, $k$-Fibonacci words, and their combinatorial properties. We established that the $n$-th root of the absolute value of terms in…
