Zeckendorf's theorem states that any positive integer can be written uniquely as a sum of non-adjacent Fibonacci numbers; this result has been generalized to many recurrence relations, especially those arising from linear recurrences with…
This paper is about counting the number of distinct (scattered) subwords occurring in a given word. More precisely, we consider the generalization of the Pascal triangle to binomial coefficients of words and the sequence $(S(n))_{n\ge 0}$…
Let (F_n)_{n} be the classical Fibonacci sequence. It is well-known that it satisfies F_{n}^2 + F_{n+1}^2 = F_{2n+1}. In this study, we explore generalizations of this Diophantine equation in several directions. First, we solve the…
We consider random Fibonacci sequences given by $x_{n+1}=\pm \beta x_{n}+x_{n-1}$. Viswanath (\cite{viswanath}), following Furstenberg (\cite{furst}) showed that when $\beta = 1$, $\lim_{n\to \infty}|x_{n}|^{1/n}=1.13...$, but his proof…
We introduce the $k$-bonacci polyominoes, a new family of polyominoes associated with the binary words avoiding $k$ consecutive $1$'s, also called generalized $k$-bonacci words. The polyominoes are very entrancing objects, considered in…
We study ratio limits of the consecutive terms of weighted $n$-generalized Fibonacci sequences generated from arbitrary complex initial conditions by linear recurrences with arbitrary complex weights. We prove that if the characteristic…
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 $F_n$ be the $n$th Fibonacci number. Let $m, n$ be positive integers. Define a sequence $(G(k,n,m))_{k\geq 1}$ by $G(1,n,m) = F^m_n$, and $G(k+1,n,m) = F_{nG(k,n,m)}$ for all $k\geq 1$. We show that $F_n^{k+m-1}\mid G(k,n,m)$ for all…
In this paper, we define the bi-periodic Fibonacci matrix sequence that represent bi-periodic Fibonacci numbers. Then, we investigate generating function, Binet formula and summations of bi-periodic Fibonacci matrix sequence. After that, we…
In this paper, the recently introduced M&m sequences and associated mean-median map are studied. These sequences are built by adding new points to a set of real numbers by balancing the mean of the new set with the median of the original.…
There are three long-known types of restricted integer compositions whose counts match the Fibonacci sequence:\ one from ancient India and two from 19th century England. We give proofs of these enumeration results using tiling arguments and…
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…
Partially ordered sets have received much attention in recent years, not just due to their usefulness in combinatorics and abstract algebra, but also due to their practical applications in fields ranging from chemistry to macroeconomics.…
The following magic trick is at the center of this paper. While the audience writes the first ten terms of a Fibonacci-like sequence (the sequence following the same recursion as the Fibonacci sequence), the magician calculates the sum of…
The partial sums of integer sequences that count the occurrences of a specific pattern in the binary expansion of positive integers have been investigated by different authors since the 1950s. In this note, we introduce generalized pattern…
We define generalized bivariate polynomials, from which upon specification of initial conditions the bivariate Fibonacci and Lucas polynomials are obtained. Using essentially a matrix approach we derive identities and inequalities that in…
In this paper, algorithms are developed for computing the Stirling transform and the inverse Stirling transform; specifically, we investigate a class of sequences satisfying a two-term recurrence. We derive a general identity which…
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…
In this paper we consider particular generalized compositions of a natural number with a given number of parts. Its number is a weighted polynomial coefficient. The number of all generalized compositions of a natural number is a weighted…
Fibonacci polynomials are generalizations of Fibonacci numbers, so it is natural to consider polynomial versions of the various results for Fibonacci numbers. According to Hong, Pongsriiam, Bulawa, and Lee, the generating function of the…
