Consider a sequence of real-valued functions of a real variable given by a homogeneous linear recursion with differentiable coefficients. We show that if the functions in the sequence are differentiable, then the sequence of derivatives…
In this paper we study the Fibonacci numbers and derive some interesting properties and recurrence relations. We prove some charecterizations for $F_p$, where $p$ is a prime of a certain type. We also define period of a Fibonacci sequence…
We give one parameter generalizations of the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers denoted by $\{F_n(\th)\}$ and $\{L_n(\th)\}$, respectively. We evaluate the Hankel determinants with entries $\{1/F_{j+k+1}(\th): 0\le i,j \le n\}$ and…
Let $(L_n)_{n \geq 1}$ be the sequence of Lucas numbers, defined recursively by $L_1 := 1$, $L_2 := 3$, and $L_{n + 2} := L_{n + 1} + L_n$, for every integer $n \geq 1$. We determine the asymptotic behavior of $\log \operatorname{lcm} (L_1…
Zeckendorf's theorem states that every positive integer can be written uniquely as the sum of non-consecutive shifted Fibonacci numbers $\{F_n\}$, where we take $F_1=1$ and $F_2=2$. This has been generalized for any Positive Linear…
Using generating functions, we derive many identities involving balancing and Lucas-balancing polynomials. By relating these polynomials to Chebyshev polynomials of the first and second kind, and Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, we offer some…
We define impulse response sequence in the set of all linear recurring sequences satisfying a linear recurrence relation of order $r$. The generating function and expression of the impulse response sequence are presented. Some identities of…
In this paper, we first give new generalizations for third-order Jacobsthal $\{J_{n}^{(3)}\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ and third-order Jacobsthal-Lucas $\{j_{n}^{(3)}\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ sequences for Jacobsthal and Jacobsthal-Lucas numbers.…
In the present paper, we define two directed pseudo graphs. Then, we investigate the adjacency matrices of the defined graphs and show that the permanents of the adjacency matrices are Jacobsthal and Jacobsthal-Lucas numbers.
The purpose of this memoir is to discuss two very interesting properties of integer sequences. One is the law of apparition and the other is the law of repetition. Both have been extensively studied by mathematicians such as Ward, Lucas,…
In this paper, we confirm six conjectures on the exact values of some permanents, relating them to the Genocchi numbers of the first and second kinds as well as the Euler numbers. For example, we prove that…
The study describes a class of integer labelings of the Fibonacci tree, the tree of descent introduced by Fibonacci. In these labelings, Fibonacci sequences appear along ascending branches of the tree, and it is shown that the labels at any…
Double Fibonacci sequences are introduced and they are related to operations with Fibonacci modules. Generalizations and examples are also discussed.
In this article we provide with combinatorial proofs of some recent identities due to Sury and McLaughlin. We show that, the solution of a general linear recurrence with constant coefficients can be interpreted as a determinant of a matrix.…
Farey sequences, Stern-Brocot sequences, the Calkin-Wilf sequences are shown to be generated via almost identical second order recurrence relations. These sequences have combinatorial, computational, and geometric applications, and are…
In a recent paper, Bilu et al. studied a conjecture of Marques and Lengyel on the $p$-adic valuation of the Tribonacci sequence. In this article, we study the $p$-adic valuation of third order linear recurrence sequences by considering a…
We explore a physical model of ordered sums of integers as trains of rods. The trains for a fixed, possibly infinite, set of rod lengths naturally correspond to nodes in a tree; relations among finite linear recursions encoded in the…
Labeled infinite trees provide combinatorial interpretations for many integer sequences generated by nested recurrence relations. Typically, such sequences are monotone increasing. Several of these sequences also have straightforward…
This paper first discusses the size and orientation of hat supertiles. Fibonacci and Lucas sequences, as well as a third integer sequence linearly related to the Lucas sequence are involved. The result is then generalized to any aperiodic…
A Cullen number is a number of the form $m2^m+1$, where $m$ is a positive integer. In 2004, Luca and St\u anic\u a proved, among other things, that the largest Fibonacci number in the Cullen sequence is $F_4=3$. Actually, they searched for…
