The Tribonacci sequence $\mathbb{T}$ is the fixed point of the substitution $\sigma(a,b,c)=(ab,ac,a)$. In this note, we get the explicit expressions of all squares, and then establish the tree structure of the positions of repeated squares…

This paper explores profound generalizations of the Fibonacci sequence, delving into random Fibonacci sequences, $k$-Fibonacci words, and their combinatorial properties. We established that the $n$-th root of the absolute value of terms in…

Zeckendorf proved that every positive integer can be expressed as the sum of non-consecutive Fibonacci numbers. This theorem inspired a beautiful game, the Zeckendorf Game. Two players begin with $n \ 1$'s and take turns applying rules…

One of the most popular and studied recursive series is the Fibonacci sequence. It is challenging to see how Fibonacci numbers can be used to generate other recursive sequences. In our article, we describe some families of integer…

Only one three-term recurrence relation, namely, $W_{r}=2W_{r-1}-W_{r-4}$, is known for the generalized Tribonacci numbers, $W_r$, $r\in\mathbb{Z}$, defined by $W_{r}=W_{r-1}+W_{r-2}+W_{r-3}$ and \mbox{$W_{-r}=W_{-r+3}-W_{-r+2}-W_{-r+1}$},…

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relationship between prime numbers and sums of Fibonacci numbers. One of our main results says that for every sufficiently large integer $k$ there exists a prime number that can be represented as…

Based on the combinatorial interpretation of the ordered Bell numbers, which count all the ordered partitions of the set $[n]=\{1,2,\dots,n\}$, we introduce the Fibonacci partition as a Fibonacci permutation of its blocks. Then we define…

We provide a method, based on automata theory, to mechanically prove the correctness of many numeration systems based on Fibonacci numbers. With it, long case-based and induction-based proofs of correctness can be replaced by simply…

We study a game in which one keeps flipping a coin until a given finite string of heads and tails occurs. We find the expected number of coin flips to end the game when the ending string consists of at most four maximal runs of heads or…

A generalization of the well-known Fibonacci sequence is the $k$-Fibonacci sequence with some fixed integer $k\ge 2$. The first $k$ terms of this sequence are $0,0, \ldots, 1$, and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding $k$ terms.…

Let $p$ be a prime number. A chain $\{p,2p+1,4p+3,\cdots,(p+1)2^{l(p)-1}-1\}$ is called the Cunningham chain generated by $p$ if all elements are prime number and $(p+1)2^{l(p)}-1$ is composite. Then $l(p)$ is called the length of the…

The focus of this paper is the study of generalized Fibonacci polynomials and Fibonomial coefficients. The former are polynomials {n} in variables s and t given by {0} = 0, {1} = 1, and {n} = s{n-1}+t{n-2} for n ge 2. The latter are defined…
