Let Lm denote the mth Lucas number. We show that the solutions to the diophantine equation (2t/k) = Lm, in non-negative integers t, k ≤ 2t−1, and m, are (t, k, m) = (1, 1, 0), (2, 1, 3), and (a, 0, 1) with non-negative integers a.

We show that the matrix A(g), representing the element g = ((xy)2(xy2)2)m (m ≥ 1) of the modular group PSL(2,Z) = 〈x,y : x2 = y3 = 1〉, where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], is a 2 × 2 symmetric matrix whose entries are Pell numbers and whose trace is a Pell–Lucas number. If g fixes elements of [Formula: see text], where d is a square-free positive number, on the circuit of the coset diagram, then d = 2 and there are only four pairs of ambiguous numbers on the circuit.

In this paper, we investigate a class of 2-generator 2-relator groups G(n) related to the Fibonacci groups F(2,n), each of the groups in this new class also being defined by a single parameter n, though here n can take negative, as well as positive, values. If n is odd, we show that G(n) is a finite soluble group of derived length 2 (if n is coprime to 3) or 3 (otherwise), and order |2n(n + 2)gnf(n, 3)|, where fn is the Fibonacci number defined by f0=0,f1=1,fn+2=fn+fn+1 and gn is the Lucas number defined by g0 = 2, g1 = 1, gn+2 = gn + gn+1 for n≧0. On the other hand, if n is even then, with three exceptions, namely the cases n = 2,4 or –4, G(n) is infinite; the groups G(2), G(4) and G(–4) have orders 16, 240 and 80 respectively.

In [1, Chapter 3, Section 2], we collected together results we had previously obtained relating to the question of which positive integers m were Lucasian, that is, factors of some Lucas number L n. We pointed out that the behaviors of odd and even numbers m were quite different. Thus, for example, 2 and 4 are both Lucasian but 8 is not; for the sequence of residue classes mod 8 of the Lucas numbers, n ⩾ 0, reads and thus does not contain the residue class 0*. On the other hand, it is a striking fact that, if the odd number s is Lucasian, then so are all of its positive powers.

AbstractConsider the system x2 − ay2 = b, P (x, y) = z2, where P is a given integer polynomial. Historically, the integer solutions of such systems have been investigated by many authors using the congruence arguments and the quadratic reciprocity. In this paper, we use Kedlaya’s procedure and the techniques of using congruence arguments with the quadratic reciprocity to investigate the solutions of the Diophantine equation 7X2 + Y7 = Z2 if (X, Y) = (Ln, Fn) (or (X, Y) = (Fn, Ln)) where {Fn} and {Ln} represent the sequences of Fibonacci numbers and Lucas numbers respectively.

For an integer $k\geq 2$, let $(L_n^{(k)})_n$ be the k-generalized Lucas sequence which starts with $0,\ldots,0,2,1$ (k terms) and each term afterwards is the sum of the k preceding terms. In this paper, we look the k-generalized Lucas numbers of the form $3\times 2^m$ i.e. we study the Diophantine equation $L^{(k)}_n = 3\times 2^m$ in positive integers n, k, m with $k \geq 2$.

We introduce a new identity of Lucas number by using the Hosoya index. As a consequence we give some properties of Lucas numbers and the extension of the work of Hillard and Windfeldt.

Abstract We prove some results about the structure of all Lucas numbers whose Euler function is a repdigit in base 10. For example, we show that if Ln is such a Lucas number, then n < 10111 is of the form p or p2, where p3 | 10p-1 -1.

For $\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\delta\in{\mathbb Z}$ and ${\rm\nu}=(\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\delta)$, the $q$-Fibonacci numbers are given by$$F_0^{{\rm\nu}}(q)=0,\ F_1^{{\rm\nu}}(q)=1\text{ and }F_{n+1}^{{\rm\nu}}(q)=q^{\alpha n-\beta}F_{n}^{{\rm\nu}}(q)+q^{\gamma n-\delta}F_{n-1}^{{\rm\nu}}(q)\text{ for }n\geq 1.$$And define the $q$-Lucas number $L_{n}^{{\rm\nu}}(q)=F_{n+1}^{{\rm\nu}}(q)+q^{\gamma-\delta}F_{n-1}^{{\rm\nu}_*}(q)$, where ${\rm\nu}_*=(\alpha,\beta-\alpha,\gamma,\delta-\gamma)$. Suppose that $\alpha=0$ and $\gamma$ is prime to $n$, or $\alpha=\gamma$ is prime to $n$. We prove that$$L_{n}^{{\rm\nu}}(q)\equiv(-1)^{\alpha(n+1)}\pmod{\Phi_n(q)}$$for $n\geq 3$, where $\Phi_n(q)$ is the $n$-th cyclotomic polynomial. A similar congruence for $q$-Pell-Lucas numbers is also established.

Foeplitz and Loeplitz matrices are Toeplitz matrices with entries being Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, respectively. In this paper, explicit expressions of determinants and inverse matrices of Foeplitz and Loeplitz matrices are studied. Specifically, the determinant of the n × n Foeplitz matrix is the ( n + 1 ) th Fibonacci number, while the inverse matrix of the n × n Foeplitz matrix is sparse and can be expressed by the nth and the ( n + 1 ) th Fibonacci number. Similarly, the determinant of the n × n Loeplitz matrix can be expressed by use of the ( n + 1 ) th Lucas number, and the inverse matrix of the n × n ( n > 3 ) Loeplitz matrix can be expressed by only seven elements with each element being the explicit expressions of Lucas numbers. Finally, several numerical examples are illustrated to show the effectiveness of our new theoretical results.
