We consider random Fibonacci sequences given by $x_{n+1}=\pm \beta x_{n}+x_{n-1}$. Viswanath (\cite{viswanath}), following Furstenberg (\cite{furst}) showed that when $\beta = 1$, $\lim_{n\to \infty}|x_{n}|^{1/n}=1.13...$, but his proof…

We study the number $O_d$ of finite $O$-sequences of a given multiplicity $d$, with particular attention to the computation of $O_d$. We show that the sequence $(O_d)_d$ is sub-Fibonacci, and that if the sequence $(O_d / O_{d-1})_d$…

Since the $\mathrm{Fibonacci}$ sequence has good properties, it's important in theory and applications, such as in combinatorics, cryptography, and so on. In this paper, for the generalized Fibonacci sequence…

Let a tribonacci sequence be a sequence of integers satisfying $a_k=a_{k-1}+a_{k-2}+a_{k-3}$ for all $k\ge 4$. For any positive integers $k$ and $n$, denote by $f_k(n)$ the number of tribonacci sequences with $a_1, a_2, a_3>0$ and with…

Let $I_n(x)=\prod_{i=1}^n \left( 1+x^{F_{i+1}}\right)$, where $F_{i+1}$ denotes a Fibonacci number. Let $v_r(n)$ denote the sum of the $r$th powers of the coefficients of $I_n(x)$. Our prototypical result is that $\sum_{n\geq 0} v_2(n)x^n=…

In this paper we study how to accelerate the convergence of the ratios (x_n) of generalized Fibonacci sequences. In particular, we provide recurrent formulas in order to generate subsequences (x_{g_n}) for every linear recurrent sequence…

We study the Diophantine equation $\displaystyle{\tfrac{a+1}{b} + \tfrac{b+1}{a} \ = \ k}$, where $k$ is an integer. Using Vieta jumping, we completely classify all positive integer pairs $(a, \, b)$. We prove that the associated integer…

Let $P(m)$ denote the largest prime factor of an integer $m\geq 2$, and put $P(0)=P(1)=1$. For an integer $k\geq 2$, let $(F_{n}^{(k)})_{n\geq 2-k}$ be the $k-$generalized Fibonacci sequence which starts with $0,...,0,1$ ($k$ terms) and…

A natural generalization of base B expansions is Zeckendorf's Theorem: every integer can be uniquely written as a sum of non-consecutive Fibonacci numbers $\{F_n\}$, with $F_{n+1} = F_n + F_{n-1}$ and $F_1=1, F_2=2$. If instead we allow the…

The sequence of partial sums of Fibonacci numbers, beginning with $2$, $4$, $7$, $12$, $20$, $33,\dots$, has several combinatorial interpretations (OEIS A000071). For instance, the $n$-th term in this sequence is the number of length-$n$…

Zeckendorf's Theorem states that every positive integer can be uniquely represented as a sum of non-adjacent Fibonacci numbers, indexed from $1, 2, 3, 5,\ldots$. This has been generalized by many authors, in particular to constant…
