We present numerous interesting, mostly new, results involving the $n$-step Fibonacci numbers and $n$-step Lucas numbers and a generalization. Properties considered include recurrence relations, summation identities, including binomial and…

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…

In this paper we completely solve the Diophantine equation $F_n+F_m=2^{a_1}+2^{a_2}+2^{a_3}+2^{a_4}+2^{a_5}$, where $F_k$ denotes the $k$-th Fibonacci number. In addition to complex linear forms in logarithms and the Baker-Davenport…

The paper gives some criteria for partial sums of rational number sequences to be not rational functions and to be not algebraic functions. As an application, we study partial sums of some famous rational number sequences in mathematical…

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…

The convolved Fibonacci numbers F_j^(r) are defined by (1-z-z^2)^{-r}=\sum_{j>=0}F_{j+1}^(r)z^j. In this note some related numbers that can be expressed in terms of convolved Fibonacci numbers are considered. These numbers appear in the…

In the \textit{Fibonacci Quarterly} in 1964, C.~R.~Wall gave the following weighted sum of generalized Fibonacci numbers: $\sum_{i=1}^n i G_i = n G_{n+2} - G_{n+3} + G_3$, where $\left(G_n\right)_{n \geq 0}$ is defined by the recurrence…

The aim of this note is to survey the factorizations of the Fibonacci infinite word that make use of the Fibonacci words and other related words, and to show that all these factorizations can be easily derived in sequence starting from…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of $F$-perfect number, which is a positive integer $n$ such that $\sum_{d|n,d<n}d^2=3n$. We prove that all the $F$-perfect numbers are of the form $n=F_{2k-1}F_{2k+1}$, where both $F_{2k-1}$ and…

A subset of positive integers $F$ is a Schreier set if it is non-empty and $|F|\leqslant \min F$ (here $|F|$ is the cardinality of $F$). For each positive integer $k$, we define $k\mathcal{S}$ as the collection of all the unions of at most…

We introduce the sequence $(a_n) \subset (0,1]$ and prove that the asymptotic behaviour of $\sum_{k=1}^n a_k$ is the same than $\pi(n)$, the prime-counting function. We also obtain that $\pi(n) \sim n a_n$ and we estimate…

Let $F_1=1,F_2=1,\ldots$ be the Fibonacci sequence. Motivated by the identity $\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{F_{2^k}}=\frac{7-\sqrt{5}}{2}$, Erd\"os and Graham asked whether $\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{F_{n_k}}$ is…

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…

In this short note, we establish some identities containing sums of binomials with coefficients satisfying third order linear recursive relations. As a result and in particular, we obtain general forms of earlier identities involving…

Consider a multiplicative function f(n) taking values on the unit circle. Is it possible that the partial sums of this function are bounded? We show that if we weaken the notion of multiplicativity so that f(pn)=f(p)f(n) for all primes p in…

In this paper, we suggest a lower and an upper bound for the Generalized Fibonacci-p-Sequence, for different values of p. The Fibonacci-p-Sequence is a generalization of the Classical Fibonacci Sequence. We first show that the ratio of two…

We study convergence properties of sparse averages of partial sums of Fourier series of continuous functions. By sparse averages, we are considering an increasing sequences of integers $n_0 < n_1 < n_2 < ...$ and looking at…

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 give enumerations of various families of restricted permutations involving the Fibonacci numbers or k-generalized Fibonacci numbers.

We solve an elementary number theory problem on sums of fractional parts, using methods from group theory. We apply our result to deduce the finiteness of certain monodromy representations.
