We present a range of difficult integration formulas involving Fibonacci and Lucas numbers and trigonometric functions. These formulas are often expressed in terms of special functions like the dilogarithm and Clausen's function. We also…
Morphic sequences form a natural class of infinite sequences, typically defined as the coding of a fixed point of a morphism. Different morphisms and codings may yield the same morphic sequence. This paper investigates how to prove that two…
Solutions to the random Fibonacci recurrence x_{n+1}=x_{n} + or - Bx_{n-1} decrease (increase) exponentially, x_{n} = exp(lambda n), for sufficiently small (large) B. In the limits B --> 0 and B --> infinity, we expand the Lyapunov exponent…
Let $ \{F_n\}_{n\ge 0} $ be the sequence of Fibonacci numbers and let $p$ be a prime. For an integer $c$ we write $m_{F,p}(c)$ for the number of distinct representations of $c$ as $F_k-p^\ell$ with $k\ge 2$ and $\ell\ge 0$. We prove that…
We consider the asymptotics of sums of the form $$ \frac1{F_n^\sigma} \sum_{m = 1}^{F_n-1} \frac{f(m/F_n)}{\left|{\sin(\pi m/F_n)}\right|^\sigma} \frac{f(F_{n-1}m/F_n)}{\left|{\sin(\pi F_{n-1}m/F_n)}\right|^\sigma} $$ where $(F_n)_{n \in…
The aim of this paper is to give linear independence results for the values of certain series. As an application, we derive arithmetical properties of the sums of reciprocals of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers associated with certain coprime…
Let $(F_n)_{n \geq 1}$ be the sequence of Fibonacci numbers. Guy and Matiyasevich proved that \begin{equation*} \log \operatorname{lcm} (F_1, F_2, \dots, F_n) \sim \frac{3 \log \alpha}{\pi^2} \cdot n^2 \quad \text{as } n \to +\infty,…
Two $k$-ary Fibonacci recurrences are $a_k(n) = a_k(n-1) + k \cdot a_k(n-2)$ and $b_k(n) = k \cdot b_k(n-1) + b_k(n-2)$. We provide a simple proof that $a_k(n)$ is the number of $k$-regular words over $[n] = \{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ that avoid…
I propose and investigate the use of continuous functional equations for the study of meta-Fibonacci integer sequences. This exploratory study includes three sequences with quite different behavior: Conway's famous sequence $A(n)=…
The Fibonacci sequence is obtained as weighted sum along the rows in the Pascal triangle by choosing a periodic up-and-down pattern of weights from the set $\{-1,-\frac{1}{2},0, \frac{1}{2}, 1\}$. A graphical illustration of this identity…
One of the best known and oldest identities for the Fibonacci sequence $F_n$ is $F_{n+1}F_{n-1}-F_{n}^2=(-1)^n$ which was derived first by R. Simson in 1753 and it is now called as Simson or Cassini Identity. In this paper, we generalize…
The classical Fibonacci sequence is known to exhibit many fascinating properties. In this paper, we explore the Fibonacci sequence and integer sequences generated by second order linear recurrence relations with positive integer…
Fibonacci sequence, generated by summing the preceding two terms, is a classical sequence renowned for its elegant properties. In this paper, leveraging properties of generalized Fibonacci sequences and formulas for consecutive sums of…
In the \textit{Fibonacci Quarterly} in 1964, C.~R.~Wall gave the following weighted sum of generalized Fibonacci numbers: $\sum_{i=1}^n i G_i = n G_{n+2} - G_{n+3} + G_3$, where $\left(G_n\right)_{n \geq 0}$ is defined by the recurrence…
We present some new linear, quadratic, cubic and quartic binomial Fibonacci, Lucas and Fibonacci--Lucas summation identities.
In this paper, we show that for any integer $a \geq 2$, each of the intervals $[a^k , a^{k + 1})$ ($k \in \mathbb{N}$) contains either $\left\lfloor \frac{\log a}{\log\Phi}\right\rfloor$ or $\left\lceil \frac{\log a}{\log\Phi}\right\rceil$…
A random Fibonacci sequence is defined by the relation g_n = | g_{n-1} +/- g_{n-2} |, where the +/- sign is chosen by tossing a balanced coin for each n. We generalize these sequences to the case when the coin is unbalanced (denoting by p…
This paper presents both a method and a result. The result presents a closed formula for the sum of the first $m+1,m \ge 0,$ squares of the sequence $F^{(k)}$ where each member is the sum of the previous $k$ members and with initial…
Let $F_k$ be the $k$th Fibonacci number. Let $(G_k)_{k\in\mathbb Z}$ be any sequence obeying the recurrence relation of the Fibonacci numbers. We employ the Gerin-Ces\`aro identity and an identity of Brousseau to evaluate the following…
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…
