In a recent insightful article, Helmut Prodinger uses sophisticated complex analysis, with residues, to derive convolution identities for Fibonacci, Tribonacci, and k-bonacci numbers. Here we use a naive, "experimental mathematics" (yet…
We present here some new identities for generalizations of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers by combinatorially interpreting these numbers in terms of numbers of certain tilings of a $1 \times m$ board. As a consequence, some new interesting…
In this paper we present two families of Fibonacci-Lucas identities, with the Sury's identity being the best known representative of one of the families. While these results can be proved by means of the basic identity relating Fibonacci…
A Fibonacci pair $F_s(w,x)$ of rank $s$ is a pair $s \times s$ nonsingular matrices such that $wx=xw$ and that the entries of $aw^n$ and $axw^m$ are polynomials of Fibonacci or Lucas numbers for some nonzero $a$. We construct identities…
A second order polynomial sequence is of Fibonacci type (Lucas type) if its Binet formula is similar in structure to the Binet formula for the Fibonacci (Lucas) numbers. In this paper we generalize identities from Fibonacci numbers and…
We offer several new summation identities involving harmonic numbers, odd harmonic numbers, and Fibonacci numbers. Our results are derived using three different approaches: partial summation, polynomial identities and binomial…
Using a probabilistic approach, we derive some interesting combinatorial identities involving gamma and beta functions. These results generalize certain well-known combinatorial identities involving binomial coefficients and special…
In this paper, we introduce two differential equations arising from the generating function of the Catalan numbers which are `inverses' to each other in some sense. From these differential equations, we obtain some new and explicit…
We introduce the notion of Fibonacci and Lucas derivations of the polynomial algebras and prove that any element of kernel of the derivations defines a polynomial identity for the Fibonacci and Lucas polynomials. Also, we prove that any…
A generalization of the Catalan numbers is considered. New results include binomial identities, recursive relations and a close formula for the multivariate generating function. A simple expression for the Catalan determinant is derived.
Starting with a known polynomial identity, we derive two generalizations of Touchard's identity concerning Catalan numbers; one obtained using the Beta function and the other via a connection with Stirling numbers of the second kind. We…
This paper considers the properties of Tribonacci numbers on identities, matrices, and determinants. In the first front part, we obtain several symmetric identities of Tribonacci numbers by a matrix-based approach and binomial inversion…
We create a sequence version of calculus. First, we define equivalence, some fundamental operations, differential, and integral for sequences. Then, we propose sequence versions of identity function, power function, exponential function,…
We give new identities for some symmetric polynomials. As applications of these identities, we obtain some formulas for a higher order analogue of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers.
This paper is concerned with developing some new identities of generalized Fibonacci numbers and generalized Pell numbers. A new class of generalized numbers is introduced for this purpose. The two well-known identities of Sury and Marques…
This paper generalizes a graph theoretic proof technique for a Fibonacci identity proposed by Lee Knisley Sanders, and explores characteristics of these generalized theorems ad infinitum.
We establish some identities relating two sequences that are, as explained, related to the Tribonacci sequence. One of these sequences bears the same resemblance to the Tribonacci sequence as the Lucas sequence does to the Fibonacci…
Results of this paper concern $n$-determinants which we defined in the paper \cite{jan}. In the paper \cite{jabo}, $2$-determinants are considered. In this paper, we extend results from \cite{jabo} on $n$-determinants by proving that…
Sury's 2014 proof of an identity for Fibonacci and Lucas numbers (Identity 236 of Benjamin and Quinn's 2003 book: {\em Proofs that count: The art of combinatorial proof}) has excited a lot of comment. We give an alternate, telescoping,…
In this note we present a method for obtaining a wide class of combinatorial identities. We give several examples, in particular, based on the Gamma and Beta functions. Some of them have already been considered by previously, and other are…
