The Imperfect Fibonacci and Lucas Numbers
نویسندگان
چکیده
A perfect number is any positive integer that is equal to the sum of its proper divisors. Several years ago, F. Luca showed that the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers contain no perfect numbers. In this paper, we alter the argument given by Luca for the nonexistence of both odd perfect Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, by making use of an 1888 result of C. Servais. We also provide a brief historical account of the study of odd perfect numbers.

The (non-)existence of perfect codes in Lucas cubes
A Fibonacci string of length $n$ is a binary string $b = b_1b_2ldots b_n$ in which for every $1 leq i < n$, $b_icdot b_{i+1} = 0$. In other words, a Fibonacci string is a binary string without 11 as a substring. Similarly, a Lucas string is a Fibonacci string $b_1b_2ldots b_n$ that $b_1cdot b_n = 0$. For a natural number $ngeq1$, a Fibonacci cube of dimension $n$ is denoted by $Gamma_n$ and i...
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 کاملOn the Fibonacci and Lucas p-numbers, their sums, families of bipartite graphs and permanents of certain matrices
In this paper we consider certain generalizations of the well-known Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, the generalized Fibonacci and Lucas p-numbers. We give relationships between the generalized Fibonacci p-numbers, Fp(n), and their sums, Pn i1⁄41F pðiÞ, and the 1-factors of a class of bipartite graphs. Further we determine certain matrices whose permanents generate the Lucas p-numbers and their sum...

Denote by {Fn} and {Ln} the Fibonacci numbers and Lucas numbers, respectively. Let Fn = Fn × Ln and Ln = Fn + Ln. Denote by {Pn} and {Qn} the Pell numbers and Pell-Lucas numbers, respectively. Let Pn = Pn × Qn and Qn = Pn + Qn. In this paper, we give some determinants and permanent representations of Pn, Qn, Fn and Ln. Also, complex factorization formulas for those numbers are presented.
