In this paper we completely solve the family of parametrised Thue equations \[ X(X-F_n Y)(X-2^n Y)-Y^3=\pm 1, \] where $F_n$ is the $n$-th Fibonacci number. In particular, for any integer $n\geq 3$ the Thue equation has only the trivial…

Let $F_n$ denote the $n^{th}$ term of the Fibonacci sequence. In this paper, we investigate the Diophantine equation $F_1^p+2F_2^p+\cdots+kF_{k}^p=F_{n}^q$ in the positive integers $k$ and $n$, where $p$ and $q$ are given positive integers.…

We present a lovely connection between the Fibonacci numbers and the sums of inverses of $(0,1)-$ triangular matrices, namely, a number $S$ is the sum of the entries of the inverse of an $n \times n$ $(n \geq 3)$ $(0,1)-$ triangular matrix…

Let $ \{T_n\}_{n\geq 0} $ be the sequence of Tribonacci numbers. In this paper, we study the exponential Diophantine equation $T_n-2^x3^y=c$, for $n,x,y\in \mathbb{Z}_{\ge0}$. In particular, we show that there is no integer $c$ with at…

We explicitly solve the diophantine equations of the form $$ A_{n_1}A_{n_2}\cdots A_{n_k}\pm 1 = B_m^2 $$ where $(A_n)_{n\geq 0}$ and $(B_m)_{m\geq 0}$ are either the Fibonacci sequence or Lucas sequence. This extends the result of D.…

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 derive a general recurrence relation for squares of Fibonacci-like numbers. Various properties are developed, including double binomial summation identites.

The following article summarizes research where theorems and their respective demonstrations are postulated based on quadratic equations with special properties given by the Pythagorean triplets and the Fibonacci sequence given the second…

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…

The Fibonacci numbers are familiar to all of us. They appear unexpectedly often in mathematics, so much there is an entire journal and a sequence of conferences dedicated to their study. However, there is also another sequence of numbers…

In this paper, we deal with Diophantine equations $N = {F_k}^3 + {F_\ell }^3 = {F_m}^3 + {F_n}^3$ and $M = {L_k}^3 + {L_\ell }^3 = {L_m}^3 + {L_n}^3$. In other words, we discover the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers that are also Hardy-Ramanujan…

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…

We count permutations avoiding a nonconsecutive instance of a two- or three-letter pattern, that is, the pattern may occur but only as consecutive entries in the permutation. Two-letter patterns give rise to the Fibonacci numbers. The…

We show that for the classical Fibonacci sequence (Fn) and the Lucas sequence (Ln) the following identity holds for every integer n >= 2: (n-1)Fn equals the sum from k=1 to n-1 of Lk multiplied by F(n-k). Equivalently, this gives a…

In this paper, we study the linear space of all two-sided generalized Fibonacci sequences $\{F_n\}_{n \in \mathbb{Z}}$ that satisfy the recurrence equation of order $k$: $F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2} + \dots + F_{n-k}$. We give two types of…

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 $0,\ldots,0,1$, and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding $k$ terms.…
