Let $(F_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be the Fibonacci sequence given by $F_0 = 0, F_1 = 1$ and $F_{n+2} = F_{n+1}+F_n$ for $n \geq 0$. In this paper, we have determined all the powers of 2 which are sums of five Fibonacci numbers with few exceptions that…

We explore the sums of $k$ consecutive terms in the generalized Fibonacci sequence $\left(G_n\right)_{n \geq 0}$ given by the recurrence $G_n = G_{n-1} + G_{n-2}$ for all $n \geq 2$ with integral initial conditions $G_0$ and $G_1$. In…

For an integer \( k \geq 2 \), the sequence of \( k \)-generalized Lucas numbers is defined by the recurrence relation \( L_n^{(k)} = L_{n-1}^{(k)} + \cdots + L_{n-k}^{(k)} \) for all \( n \geq 2 \), with initial conditions \( L_0^{(k)} = 2…

A $K$-Fibonacci sequence is a binary recurrence sequence where $F_0=0$, $F_1=1$, and $F_n=K\cdot F_{n-1}+F_{n-2}$. These sequences are known to be periodic modulo every positive integer greater than $1$. If the length of one shortest period…

By Zeckendorf's theorem, an equivalent definition of the Fibonacci sequence (appropriately normalized) is that it is the unique sequence of increasing integers such that every positive number can be written uniquely as a sum of non-adjacent…

For an integer $k\geq 2$, let $(L_{n}^{(k)})_{n}$ be the $k-$generalized Lucas sequence which starts with $0,\ldots,0,2,1$ ($k$ terms) and each term afterwards is the sum of the $k$ preceding terms. In this paper, we find all the integers…

The Tribonacci sequence $\mathbb{T}$ is the fixed point of the substitution $\sigma(a,b,c)=(ab,ac,a)$. The main result is twofold: (1) we give the explicit expressions of the numbers of distinct squares and cubes in $\mathbb{T}[1,n]$ (the…

The generalized Fibonacci sequences are sequences $\{f_n\}$ which satisfy the recurrence $f_n(s, t) = sf_{n - 1}(s, t) + tf_{n - 2}(s, t)$ ($s, t \in \mathbb{Z}$) with initial conditions $f_0(s, t) = 0$ and $f_1(s, t) = 1$. In a recent…
