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…

For a set $A$ of positive integers with $\gcd(A)=1$, let $\langle A \rangle$ denote the set of all finite linear combinations of elements of $A$ over the non-negative integers. Then it is well known that only finitely many positive integers…

We discuss an equivalence relation on the set of square binary matrices with the same number of 1's in each row and each column. Each binary matrix is represented using ordered n-tuples of natural numbers. We give a few starting values of…

Let $t_n = (-1)^{s_2(n)}$, where $s_2(n)$ is the sum of binary digits function. The sequence $(t_n)_{n\in \mathbb N}$ is the well-known Prouhet-Thue-Morse sequence. In this note we initiate the study of the sequence $(h_n)_{n\in \mathbb…

In this paper, we examine the Diophantine problem given by the equation $F_n = F_l^k (F_l^m - 1)$, where $n, l, m \geq 1$ and $k \geq 3$. Here, $\{ F_t \}_{t=0}^{\infty} $ denotes the Fibonacci numbers, defined by the recurrence relation…

Let ${\mathcal F}=(F_i:i\ge 0)$ be the sequence of Fibonacci numbers, and $j$ and $e$ be non negative integers. We study the periodicity of the power Fibonacci sequences ${\mathcal F}^e(F_j)=(F_i^e\pmod{F_j}: i\ge 0)$. It is shown that for…

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…

Let $(G_k)_{k\in\mathbb Z}$ be any sequence obeying the recurrence relation of the Fibonacci numbers. We derive formulas for $\sum_{j=1}^n{G_{j + t}^6}$ and $\sum_{j=1}^n{(-1)^{j - 1}G_{j + t}^5(G_{j + t - 1} + G_{j + t + 1})}$, thereby…

We prove that certain sequences of finite continued fractions associated with a 2-periodic continued fraction with period a,b>0 are moment sequences of discrete signed measures supported in the interval [-1,1], and we give necessary and…

Nested (or meta-Fibonacci) recurrences, such as the recurrence used to define Hofstadter's Q-sequence, along with the digit-based recurrences that underlie automatic sequences are of interest from both number-theoretic and combinatorial…

One of the best known and oldest identities for the Fibonacci sequence $F_n$ is $F_{n+1}F_{n-1}-F_{n}^2=(-1)^n$ which was derived first by R. Simson in 1753 and it is now called as Simson or Cassini Identity. In this paper, we generalize…

We find a closed-form solution to the recurrence $\ z_{n+2} = \frac{1}{z_{n+1}} + z_n$, where $n \in \mathbb Z_{\geq 1}$ and $z_1 \in \mathbb R_{> 0},\ z_2 \in \mathbb R_{> 0}$. As a corollary, we derive an alternate proof of a recurrence…

Let $F_k$ be the $k$th Fibonacci number. Let $(G_k)_{k\in\mathbb Z}$ be any sequence obeying the recurrence relation of the Fibonacci numbers. We employ the Gerin-Ces\`aro identity and an identity of Brousseau to evaluate the following…

In a recent paper, Frank Ruskey asked whether every linear recurrent sequence can occur in some solution of a meta-Fibonacci sequence. In this paper, we answer his question in the affirmative for recurrences with positive coefficients.

In this paper, we consider the new family of recurrence sequences of $(q,k)$-generalized Fibonacci numbers. These sequences naturally extend the well-known sequences of $k$-generalized Fibonacci numbers and generalized $k$-order Pell…
