We study ratio limits of the consecutive terms of weighted $n$-generalized Fibonacci sequences generated from arbitrary complex initial conditions by linear recurrences with arbitrary complex weights. We prove that if the characteristic…

A set $A$ of positive integers is said to be Schreier if either $A = \emptyset$ or $\min A\ge |A|$. We give a bijective map to prove the recurrence of the sequence $(|\mathcal{K}_{n, p, q}|)_{n=1}^\infty$ (for fixed $p\ge 1$ and $q\ge 2$),…

Denote by $\mathbb{N}$ and $\mathbb{P}$ the set of all positive integers and prime numbers, respectively. Let $\mathbb{P}=\{p_1<p_2<\dots <p_n<\dots\}$, where $p_n$ is the $n$-th prime number. For $k\in\mathbb{N}$ we recursively define…

We derive weighted summation identities involving the second order recurrence sequence $\{w_n\} =\{ w_n(a,b; p, q)\}$ defined by $w_0 = a,\,w_1 = b;\,w_n = pw_{n - 1} - qw_{n - 2}\, (n \ge 2)$, where $a$, $b$, $p$ and $q$ are arbitrary…

We present a certain generalization of a recent result of M. I. Cirnu on linear recurrence relations with coefficient in progressions [2]. We provide some interesting examples related to some well-known integer sequences, such as Fibonacci…

For a sequence $\{a_n\}_{n\geq 0}$ of real numbers and for a parameter $0<p<1$, we define the sequence of its arithmetic means $\{a^*_n\}_{n\geq 0}$ and the sequence of its $p$-binomial means $\{a^p_n\}_{n\geq 0}$ as \begin{align*}…

We introduce an elementary congruence-based procedure to look for q-th power multiples in arbitrary binary recurrence sequences (q>2). The procedure allows to prove that no such multiples exist in many instances.

We prove a central limit theorem for the length of the longest subsequence of a random permutation which follows one of a class of repeating patterns. This class includes every fixed pattern of ups and downs having at least one of each,…

For an (irreducible) recurrence equation with coefficients from $\mathbb Z[n]$ and its two linearly independent rational solutions $u_n,v_n$, the limit of $u_n/v_n$ as $n\to\infty$, when exists, is called the Ap\'ery limit. We give a…

We study generalizations of the sequence of the n-anacci constants that consist of the ratio limits generated by linear recurrences of an arbitrary order n with equal positive weights p. We derive the analytic representation of these ratio…

We use the fact that certain cosets of the stabilizer of points are pairwise conjugate in a symmetric group $S_n$ in order to construct recurrence relations for enumerating certain subsets of $S_n$. Occasionally one can find `closed form'…

We describe new, simple, recursive methods of construction for orientable sequences over an arbitrary finite alphabet, i.e. periodic sequences in which any sub-sequence of n consecutive elements occurs at most once in a period in either…

An elliptic divisibility sequence is an integer recurrence sequence associated to an elliptic curve over the rationals together with a rational point on that curve. In this paper we present a higher-dimensional analogue over arbitrary base…

We improve lower bounds on the $k$th-order nonlinear complexity of pseudorandom sequences over finite fields and we establish a probabilistic result on the behavior of the $k$th-order nonlinear complexity of random sequences over finite…

Fix a finite set $S \subset {GL}(k,\mathbb{Z})$. Denote by $a_n$ the number of products of matrices in $S$ of length $n$ that are equal to 1. We show that the sequence $\{a_n\}$ is not always P-recursive. This answers a question of…

In order to study quantum measurement theory, sequential product defined for any two quantum effects is introduced. Physically motivated conditions ask the sequential product to be continuous with respect to the strong operator topology. In…

Starting with an infinite set of non linear Equations for the Li-Keiper coefficients, we first specify a lower bound emerging from the infinite set and give a characterization of it. Then, we propose a possible new upper and lower bound for…

In a recent paper, Bilu et al. studied a conjecture of Marques and Lengyel on the $p$-adic valuation of the Tribonacci sequence. In this article, we study the $p$-adic valuation of third order linear recurrence sequences by considering a…

In this paper we consider nonlinear problems with an operator depending only on the deformation tensor. We consider the class of operators derived from a potential and with $(p,\delta)$ structure, for $1<p\leq 2$ and for all $\delta\geq0$.…

We investigate when the sequence of binomial coefficients \binom{k}{i} modulo a prime p, for a fixed positive integer k, satisfies a linear recurrence relation of (positive) degree h in the finite range 0\le i\le k. In particular, we prove…
