We study Fibonacci compositions, which are compositions of natural numbers that only use Fibonacci numbers, in two different contexts. We first prove inequalities comparing the number of Fibonacci compositions to regular compositions where…
Let $\alpha=(1+\sqrt 5)/2$, the golden ratio, and $\beta=-1/\alpha=(1 - \sqrt 5)/2$. Let $F_n$ and $L_n$ be the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, defined by $F_n=(\alpha^n -\beta^n)/\sqrt 5$ and $L_n=\alpha^n + \beta^n$, for all non-negative…
The focus of this paper is on formal power series analogs of the golden ratio. We are interested in both their continued fractions expansions as well as their Laurent series expansions. Our approach studies the Hankel matrices that are…
In the last 30 years, the mathematical theory of aperiodic order has developed enormously. Many new tilings and properties have been discovered, few of which are covered or anticipated by the early papers and books. Here, we start from the…
Fractals and quasiperiodic structures share self-similarity as a structural property. Motivated by the link between Fibonacci fractals and quasicrystals which are scaled by the golden mean ratio $\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$, we introduce and…

The classical Fibonacci sequence is known to exhibit many fascinating properties. In this paper, we explore the Fibonacci sequence and integer sequences generated by second order linear recurrence relations with positive integer…
The metallic means (also known as metallic ratios) may be defined as the limiting ratio of consecutive terms of sequences connected to the Fibonacci sequence via the INVERT transform. For example, the Pell sequence (invert transform of the…
We provide a formula for the $n^{th}$ term of the $k$-generalized Fibonacci-like number sequence using the $k$-generalized Fibonacci number or $k$-nacci number, and by utilizing the newly derived formula, we show that the limit of the ratio…
In this article we calculate the length of the golden spiral, and we study the golden rectangles. We calculate some measures of interest. We also show that the only rectangles that can be subdivided or that generate sub rectangles…
We study the p-rationality of real quadratic fields in terms of generalized Fibonacci numbers and their periods modulo positive integers.
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…
In this paper, we will first summarize known results concerning continued fractions. Then we will limit our consideration to continued fractions of quadratic numbers. The second author described periods and sometimes precise form of…
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 =…

We present numerous interesting, mostly new, results involving the $n$-step Fibonacci numbers and $n$-step Lucas numbers and a generalization. Properties considered include recurrence relations, summation identities, including binomial and…
