Given k>1, let a_n be the sequence defined by the recurrence a_n=c_1a_{n-1}+c_2a_{n-2}+...+c_ka_{n-k} for n>=k, with initial values a_0=a_1=...=a_{k-2}=0 and a_{k-1}= 1. We show under a couple of assumptions concerning the constants c_i…

We define a family of meta-Fibonacci sequences where the order of the of recursion at stage n is a variable r(n), and the n^{th} term of a sequence is the sum of the previous r(n) terms. For the terms of any such sequence, we give upper and…

Let $I_n(x)=\prod_{i=1}^n \left( 1+x^{F_{i+1}}\right)$, where $F_{i+1}$ denotes a Fibonacci number. Let $v_r(n)$ denote the sum of the $r$th powers of the coefficients of $I_n(x)$. Our prototypical result is that $\sum_{n\geq 0} v_2(n)x^n=…

A finite subset of the natural numbers is weak-Schreier if $\min S \ge |S|$, strong-Schreier if $\min S>|S|$, and maximal if $\min S = |S|$. Let $M_n$ be the number of weak-Schreier sets with $n$ being the largest element and $(F_n)_{n\geq…

Let $X_1, X_2,\ldots, X_n$ be $n$ independent and identically distributed random variables, here $n \geq 2.$ Let $X_{(1)}, X_{(2)}, \ldots, X_{(n)}$ be the order statistics of $X_1, X_2,..., X_n.$ In this note we proved that: (I) If $X_1,…

Given F:[a,b]^k\to [a,b] and a nonconstant X_0 with P(X_0\in [a,b])=1, define the hierarchical sequence of random variables {X_n}_{n\ge 0} by X_{n+1}=F(X_{n,1},...,X_{n,k}), where X_{n,i} are i.i.d. as X_n. Such sequences arise from…

In this paper, we define a variant of Fibonacci-like sequences that we call prime Fibonacci sequences, where one takes the sum of the previous two terms and returns the smallest odd prime divisor of that sum as the next term. We prove that…

It's the age-old recurrence with a twist: sum the last two terms and if the result is composite, divide by its smallest prime divisor to get the next term (e.g., 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 4, 3, 7, ...). These sequences exhibit pseudo-random…
