We determine all perfect powers that can be written as the sum of at most 10 consecutive squares.
For $k\geq 2$, the $k$-generalized Fibonacci sequence $(F_n^{(k)})_{n}$ is defined by the initial values $0,0,\ldots,0,1$ ($k$ terms) and such that each term afterwards is the sum of the $k$ preceding terms. In this paper, we search for…
In this work, we made a generalization that includes all bicomplex Fibonacci-like numbers such as; Fibonacci, Lucas, Pell, etc.. We named this generalization as bicomplex Horadam numbers. For bicomplex Fibonacci and Lucas numbers we gave…
This paper describes a class of sequences that are in many ways similar to Fibonacci sequences: given n, sum the previous two terms and divide them by the largest possible power of n. The behavior of such sequences depends on n. We analyze…
In 2018, Luca and Patel conjectured that the largest perfect power representable as the sum of two Fibonacci numbers is $3864^2 = F_{36} + F_{12}$. In other words, they conjectured that the equation…
In this paper we derive some new identities involving the Fibonacci and Lucas polynomials and the Chebyshev polynomials of the first and the second kind. Our starting point is a finite trigonometric sum which equals the resolvent kernel on…
Given that $a,b\in\mathbb N$, $c_0,c_1\in\mathbb Z$, $(c_0,c_1)\neq (0,0)$, and a generalized Fibonacci sequence $(s_n)_{n\geq 0}$ where $s_0 = c_0$, $s_1 = c_1$, and $s_{n+1}=as_{n}+bs_{n-1}$ for all positive integers $n$. In this paper,…
In the present paper we consider $F_k(x)=x^{k}-\sum_{t=0}^{k-1}x^t,$ the characteristic polynomial of the $k$-th order Fibonacci sequence, the latter denoted $G(k,l).$ We determine the limits of the real roots of certain odd and even degree…
We give an explicit description of the coefficients of the formal power series (1-x)(1-x^2)(1-x^3)(1-x^5)(1-x^8)(1-x^13)... In particular, we show that all the coefficients are equal to -1, 0 or 1.
Euler noted the relation $6^3=3^3+4^3+5^3$ and asked for other instances of cubes that are sums of consecutive cubes. Similar problems have been studied by Cunningham, Catalan, Gennochi, Lucas, Pagliani, Cassels, Uchiyama, Stroeker and…
Let $ (G_n)_{n=0}^{\infty} $ be a polynomial power sum, i.e. a simple linear recurrence sequence of complex polynomials with power sum representation $ G_n = f_1\alpha_1^n + \cdots + f_k\alpha_k^n $ and polynomial characteristic roots $…
In this paper, we define Tribonacci-Lucas polynomials and present Tribonacci-Lucas numbers and polynomials as a binomial sum. Then, we introduce incomplete Tribonacci-Lucas numbers and polynomials. In addition we derive recurrence…
In this work, we define a more general family of polynomials in several variables satisfying a linear recurrence relation. Then we provide explicit formulas and determinantal expressions. Finally, we apply these results to recurrent…
We speculate on the distribution of primes in exponentially growing, linear recurrence sequences $(u_n)_{n\geq 0}$ in the integers. By tweaking a heuristic which is successfully used to predict the number of prime values of polynomials, we…
Fibonacci-like polynomials produced by m-ary Huffman codes for absolutely ordered sequences have been described.
We give formulas for the number of polynomials over a finite field with given root multiplicities, in particular in cases when the formula is surprisingly simple (a power of q). Besides this concrete interpretation, we also prove an…
In this study, we define a new type of Fibonacci and Lucas num- bers which are called bicomplex Fibonacci and bicomplex Lucas numbers. We obtain the well-known properties e.g. Docagnes, Cassini, Catalan for these new types. We also give the…
For any finite field $\mathbb{F}$ and any positive integer $n$ we count the number of monic polynomials of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{F}$ with nonzero constant coefficient and a self-reciprocal factor of any specified degree. An application…
In this paper, we prove that there is no x>=4 such that the difference of x-th powers of two consecutive Fibonacci numbers greater than 0 is a Lucas number.
We show that certain weighted Fibonacci and Lucas series can always be expressed as linear combinations of polylogarithms. In some special cases we evaluate the series in terms of Bernoulli polynomials, making use of the connection between…
