Zeckendorf's theorem states that every positive integer can be uniquely decomposed as a sum of nonconsecutive Fibonacci numbers, where the Fibonacci numbers satisfy $F_n=F_{n-1}+F_{n-2}$ for $n\geq 3$, $F_1=1$ and $F_2=2$. The distribution…

This paper defines the set fib of fibbinary numbers and displays its structure in the form of a table of a specialised type, and in array form. It uses the Zeckendorf representation $n \in \mathbf{N}$ to define a bijection $\mathcal{Z}$…

A beautiful theorem of Zeckendorf states that every positive integer has a unique decomposition as a sum of non-adjacent Fibonacci numbers. Such decompositions exist more generally, and much is known about them. First, for any positive…

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…

We study the concatenated Fibonacci constant $\mathcal{F} := 0.F_{1}F_{2}F_{3}\cdots = 0.11235813\cdots$, obtained by concatenating the Fibonacci numbers in the fractional part, and ask whether it is normal. We show that several classical…

We study the sets DF({\beta}) of digit frequencies of {\beta}-expansions of numbers in [0,1]. We show that DF({\beta}) is a compact convex set with countably many extreme points which varies continuously with {\beta}; that there is a full…

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…

Zeckendorf's Theorem states that any positive integer can be written uniquely as a sum of non-adjacent Fibonacci numbers. We consider higher-dimensional lattice analogues, where a legal decomposition of a number $n$ is a collection of…

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…

Zeckendorf's Theorem says that for all $k \geq 3$, every nonnegative integer has a unique $k$-Zeckendorf representation as a sum of distinct $k$-bonacci numbers, where no $k$ consecutive $k$-bonacci numbers are present in the…

Zeckendorf proved that every positive integer has a unique representation as a sum of non-consecutive Fibonacci numbers. A natural generalization of this theorem is to look at the sequence defined as follows: for $n\ge 2$, let $F_{n,1} =…

An equivalent definition of the Fibonacci numbers is that they are the unique sequence such that every integer can be written uniquely as a sum of non-adjacent terms. We can view this as we have bins of length 1, we can take at most one…

We investigate the Hausdorff dimension of level sets defined by digit growth rates in $\theta$-expansions, a generalization of regular continued fractions. For any $\alpha \geq 0$, we prove that the set \[ E_\theta(\alpha) = \left\{ x \in…

Philip Matchett Wood and Doron Zeilberger have constructed identities for the Fibonacci numbers $f_n$ of the form $1f_n = f_n$ for all $n \geq 1$; $2f_n = f_{n-2} + f_{n+1}$ for all $n \geq 3$; $3f_n = f_{n-2} + f_{n+2}$ for all $n \geq 3$;…

Let $\mathsf{s}(n)$ denote the sum of binary digits of an integer $n \geq 0$. In the recent years there has been interest in the behavior of the differences $\mathsf{s}(n+t)-\mathsf{s}(n)$, where $t \geq 0$ is an integer. In particular,…
