On a Multisection Style Binomial Summation Identity for Fibonacci Numbers
نویسنده
چکیده
A lattice path enumeration approach is exploited in order to derive a binomial summation formula for the number of paths in the lattice (0, 1, . . . , d) with start 0 and n steps. This approach reveals multisection style binomial summation identitities and, particularly, a novel relationship between Fibonacci numbers and the Pascal triangle.

Certain General Binomial-fibonacci Sums
Numerous writers appear to have been fascinated by the many interesting summation identitites involving the Fibonacci and related Lucas numbers. Various types of formulas are discussed and various methods are used. Some involve binomial coefficients [2 ] , [4 ] . Generating function methods are used in [2] and [5] and higher powers appear in [6] . Combinations of these or other approaches appea...
متن کاملDivisibility Properties by Multisection
The/?-adic order, vp(r), of r is the exponent of the highest power of a prime/? which divides r. We characterize the/?-adic order vp(Fn) of the F„ sequence using multisection identities. The method of multisection is a helpful tool in discovering and proving divisibility properties. Here it leads to invariants of the modulo p Fibonacci generating function for p ^ 5. The proof relies on some sim...
متن کاملIdentities Involving Lucas or Fibonacci and Lucas Numbers as Binomial Sums
As in [1, 2], for rapid numerical calculations of identities pertaining to Lucas or both Fibonacci and Lucas numbers we present each identity as a binomial sum. 1. Preliminaries The two most well-known linear homogeneous recurrence relations of order two with constant coefficients are those that define Fibonacci and Lucas numbers (or Fibonacci and Lucas sequences). They are defined recursively ...

متن کاملA New Generalization of Jacobsthal Numbers (bi-periodic Jacobsthal Sequences)
The bi-periodic Fibonacci sequence also known as the generalized Fibonacci sequence was fırst introduced into literature in 2009 by Edson and Yayenie [9] after which the bi-periodic Lucas sequence was defined in a similar fashion in 2004 by Bilgici [5]. In this study, we introduce a new generalization of the Jacobsthal numbers which we shall call bi-periodic Jacobsthal sequences similar to the ...
