AbstractIn this paper we obtain explicit formulae for sums of products of a fixed number of consecutive generalized Fibonacci and Lucas numbers. These formulae are related to the recent work of Belbachir and Bencherif. We eliminate all restrictions about the initial values and the form of the recurrence relation. In fact, we consider six different groups of three sums that include alternating sums and sums in which terms are multiplied by binomial coefficients and by natural numbers. The proofs are direct and use the formula for the sum of the geometric series.

In this paper, we study the reciprocal sums of products of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers. Some identities are obtained related to the numbers ??,k=n 1/FkLk+m and ??,k=n 1/LkFk+m, m ? 0.

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to give new results about factorizations of the Fibonacci numbers F n and the Lucas numbers L n. These numbers are defined by the second order recurrence relation a n+2 = a n+1+a n with the initial terms F 0 = 0, F 1 = 1 and L 0 = 2, L 1 = 1, respectively. Proofs of theorems are done with the help of connections between determinants of tridiagonal matrices and the Fibonacci and the Lucas numbers using the Chebyshev polynomials. This method extends the approach used in [CAHILL, N. D.—D’ERRICO, J. R.—SPENCE, J. P.: Complex factorizations of the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, Fibonacci Quart. 41 (2003), 13–19], and CAHILL, N. D.—NARAYAN, D. A.: Fibonacci and Lucas numbers as tridiagonal matrix determinants, Fibonacci Quart. 42 (2004), 216–221].

Here we present a new method to construct the explicit formula of a sequence of numbers and polynomials generated by a linear recurrence relation of order 2. The applications of the method to the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, Chebyshev polynomials, the generalized Gegenbauer-Humbert polynomials are also discussed. The derived idea provides a general method to construct identities of number or polynomial sequences defined by linear recurrence relations. The applications using the method to solve some algebraic and ordinary differential equations are presented.

By considering Melham's sums (Melham, 2004), we compute various more general nonalternating sums, alternating sums, and sums that alternate according to involving the generalized Fibonacci and Lucas numbers.

In this paper we prove an identity between sums of reciprocals of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers. The Fibonacci numbers are defined for all n ≥ 0 by the recurrence relation Fn + 1 = Fn + Fn-1 for n ≥ 1, where F0 = 0 and F1 = 0. The Lucas numbers Ln are defined for all n ≥ 0 by the same recurrence relation, where L0 = 2 and L1 = 1 We prove the following identify.
