The Tribonacci sequence $\mathbb{T}$ is the fixed point of the substitution $\sigma(a,b,c)=(ab,ac,a)$. The main result is twofold: (1) we give the explicit expressions of the numbers of distinct squares and cubes in $\mathbb{T}[1,n]$ (the…

The Fibonacci sequence $\mathbb{F}$ is the fixed point beginning with $a$ of morphism $\sigma(a,b)=(ab,a)$. Since $\mathbb{F}$ is uniformly recurrent, each factor $\omega$ appears infinite many times in the sequence which is arranged as…
It is shown that the unique representation of positive integers in terms of tribonacci numbers and the unique representation in terms of iterated A, B and C sequences defined from the tribonacci word are equivalent. Two auxiliary…
The Fibonacci word is the fixed point beginning with the letter $a$ of morphism $\sigma(a)=ab$, $\sigma(b)=a$ defined over the alphabet $\{a,b\}$. In this paper, we get explicit expression of the number of distinct fractional powers in each…
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 implement a decision procedure for answering questions about a class of infinite words that might be called (for lack of a better name) "Tribonacci-automatic". This class includes, for example, the famous Tribonacci word T =…
The Tribonacci sequence is a well-known example of third order recurrence sequence, which belongs to a particular class of recursive sequences. In this article, other generalized Tribonacci sequence is introduced and defined by…
In this paper, we define Tribonacci and Tribonacci-Lucas matrix sequences and investigate their properties.
It is shown that there are no non-trivial fifth-, seventh-, eleventh-, thirteenth- or seventeenth powers in the Fibonacci sequence. For eleventh, thirteenth- and seventeenth powers an alternative (to the usual exhaustive check of products…
We prove some identities for the squares of generalized Tribonacci numbers. Various summation identities involving these numbers are derived.
This paper considers the properties of Tribonacci numbers on identities, matrices, and determinants. In the first front part, we obtain several symmetric identities of Tribonacci numbers by a matrix-based approach and binomial inversion…
Let $S_b(n)$ denote the sum of the squares of the digits of the positive integer $n$ in base $b\geq2$. It is well-known that the sequence of iterates of $S_b(n)$ terminates in a fixed point or enters a cycle. Let $N=2n-1$, $n\geq2$. It is…
We show that essentially the Fibonacci sequence is the unique binary recurrence which contains infinitely many three-term arithmetic progressions. A criterion for general linear recurrences having infinitely many three-term arithmetic…
By an $abc$ triple, we mean a triple $(a,b,c)$ of relatively prime positive integers $a,b,$ and $c$ such that $a+b=c$ and $\operatorname{rad}(abc)<c$, where $\operatorname{rad}(n)$ denotes the product of the distinct prime factors of $n$.…
A repdigit is a positive integer that has only one distinct digit in its decimal expansion, i.e., a number has the form $d(10^m-1)/9$ for some $m\geq 1$ and $1 \leq d \leq 9$. Let $\left(T_n\right)_{n\ge0}$ be the sequence of Tribonacci.…
The Tribonacci-Lucas sequence $\{S_n\}_{n\ge 0}$ is defined by the linear recurrence relation $S_{n+3} = S_{n+2} + S_{n+1} + S_n$, for $ n\ge 0 $, with the initial conditions $S_0 =S_2= 3$ and $S_1 = 1$. A palindromic number is a number…
A cubic (resp. biquadratic) theta series is a power series whose n-th coefficient is equal to 1 if n is a perfect cube (resp. fourth power) and zero otherwise. We improve on a result of Bradshaw by showing that such series is not a cubic…
