For any integer k≥2, the sequence of the k-generalized Fibonacci numbers (or k-bonacci numbers) is defined by the k initial values F−(k−2)(k)=⋯=F0(k)=0 and F1(k)=1 and such that each term afterwards is the sum of the k preceding ones. In this paper, we search for repdigits (i.e., a number whose decimal expansion is of the form aa…a, with a∈[1,9]) in the sequence (Fn(k)Fn(k+m))n, for m∈[1,9]. This result generalizes a recent work of Bednařík and Trojovská (the case in which (k,m)=(2,1)). Our main tools are the transcendental method (for Diophantine equations) together with the theory of continued fractions (reduction method).

Let k ≥ 1 be an integer and denote ( F k , n ) n as the k-Fibonacci sequence whose terms satisfy the recurrence relation F k , n = k F k , n − 1 + F k , n − 2 , with initial conditions F k , 0 = 0 and F k , 1 = 1 . In the same way, the k-Lucas sequence ( L k , n ) n is defined by satisfying the same recursive relation with initial values L k , 0 = 2 and L k , 1 = k . The sequences ( F k , n ) n ≥ 0 and ( L k , n ) n ≥ 0 were introduced by Falcon and Plaza, who derived many of their properties. In particular, they proved that F k , n 2 + F k , n + 1 2 = F k , 2 n + 1 and F k , n + 1 2 − F k , n − 1 2 = k F k , 2 n , for all k ≥ 1 and n ≥ 0 . In this paper, we shall prove that if k > 1 and F k , n s + F k , n + 1 s ∈ ( F k , m ) m ≥ 1 for infinitely many positive integers n, then s = 2 . Similarly, that if F k , n + 1 s − F k , n − 1 s ∈ ( k F k , m ) m ≥ 1 holds for infinitely many positive integers n, then s = 1 or s = 2 . This generalizes a Marques and Togbé result related to the case k = 1 . Furthermore, we shall solve the Diophantine equations F k , n = L k , m , F k , n = F n , k and L k , n = L n , k .

AbstractIn this paper we give some theoretical explanations related to the representation for the general solution of the system of the higher-order rational difference equations$$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle x_{n+1} = \dfrac{1+2y_{n-k}}{3+y_{n-k}},\qquad y_{n+1} = \dfrac{1+2z_{n-k}}{3+z_{n-k}},\qquad z_{n+1} = \dfrac{1+2x_{n-k}}{3+x_{n-k}}, \end{array}$$where n, k∈ ℕ0, the initial values x−k, x−k+1, …, x0, y−k, y−k+1, …, y0, z−k, z−k+1, …, z1 and z0 are arbitrary real numbers do not equal −3. This system can be solved in a closed-form and we will see that the solutions are expressed using the famous Fibonacci and Lucas numbers.

Let (tn(r))n≥0 be the sequence of the generalized Fibonacci number of order r, which is defined by the recurrence tn(r)=tn−1(r)+⋯+tn−r(r) for n≥r, with initial values t0(r)=0 and ti(r)=1, for all 1≤i≤r. In 2002, Grossman and Luca searched for terms of the sequence (tn(2))n, which are expressible as a sum of factorials. In this paper, we continue this program by proving that, for any ℓ≥1, there exists an effectively computable constant C=C(ℓ)>0 (only depending on ℓ), such that, if (m,n,r) is a solution of tm(r)=n!+(n+1)!+⋯+(n+ℓ)!, with r even, then max{m,n,r}<C. As an application, we solve the previous equation for all 1≤ℓ≤5.

Grassmann Variables

Some algebraical, combinatorial and analytical aspects of paragrassmann variables are discussed. In particular, the similarity of the combinatorics involved with those of generalized exclusion statistics (Gentile's intermediate statistics) is stressed. It is shown that the dimensions of the algebras of generalized grassmann variables are related to generalized Fibonacci numbers. On the analytical side, some of the simplest differential equations are discussed and a suitably generalized Berezin integral as well as an associated delta-function are considered. Some remarks concerning a geometrical interpretation of recent results about fractional superconformal transformations involving generalized grassmann variables are given. Finally, a quantity related to the Witten index is discussed.

Abstract Let k ≥ 1 and denote (Fk,n)n≥0, the k-Fibonacci sequence whose terms satisfy the recurrence relation Fk,n = kFk,n−1 +Fk,n−2, with initial conditions Fk,0 = 0 and Fk,1 = 1. In the same way, the k-Lucas sequence (Lk,n)n≥0 is defined by satisfying the same recurrence relation with initial values Lk,0 = 2 and Lk,1 = k. These sequences were introduced by Falcon and Plaza, who showed many of their properties, too. In particular, they proved that Fk,n+1 + Fk,n−1 = Lk,n, for all k ≥ 1 and n ≥ 0. In this paper, we shall prove that if k ≥ 1 and $F_{k,n + 1}^s + F_{k,n - 1}^s \in \left( {L_{k,m} } \right)_{m \ge 1} $ for infinitely many positive integers n, then s =1.
