The Fibonacci sequence modulo $m$, which we denote $\left(\mathcal{F}_{m,n}\right)_{n=0}^\infty$ where $\mathcal{F}_{m,n}$ is the Fibonacci number $F_n$ modulo $m$, has been a well-studied object in mathematics since the seminal paper by…

Let P and Q be non-zero relatively prime integers. The Lucas sequence {U_n(P,Q) is defined by U_0=0, U_1=1, U_n = P U_{n-1}-Q U_{n-2} for n>1. The sequence {U_n(1,-1)} is the familiar Fibonacci sequence, and it was proved by Cohn that the…

We focus on a family of subsets $(\F^p_n)_{p\geq 2}$ of Dyck paths of semilength $n$ that avoid the patterns $DUU$ and $D^{p+1}$, which are enumerated by the generalized Fibonacci numbers. We endow them with the partial order relation…

Let $F_{n}$ and $L_n$ be the $n$th Fibonacci and Lucas number, respectively. For each positive integer $m$, the order of appearance of $m$ in the Fibonacci sequence, denoted by $z(m)$, is the smallest positive integer $k$ such that $m$…

Let $\{U_n\}_{n\geq 0}$ be a Lucas sequence. Then the equation $$|U_n|=m_1!m_2!\cdots m_k!$$ with $1<m_1\leq m_2\leq \cdots\leq m_k$ implies $n\in \{1,2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12\}$. Further the equation $$|U_n|=D_{m_1}D_{m_2}\cdots D_{m_k}, \qquad…
