We prove some finite sum identities involving reciprocals of the binomial and central binomial coefficients, as well as harmonic, Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, some of which recover previously known results, while the others are new.

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 consider some triple sums that involve Fibonacci numbers with three binomial coefficients. We chose the indices of Fibonacci numbers as linear combination of the summation indices. Moreover, various types of alternating analogues of them whose powers depend on the index or indices are computed. These sums are evaluated in nice multiplication forms in terms of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers.

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.

AbstractIn the spirit of Euler sums we develop a set of identities for finite sums of products of harmonic numbers in higher order and reciprocal binomial coefficients. The new results complement some Euler sums of the type

We obtain a general identity involving the row-sums of a Riordan matrix and the harmonic numbers. From this identity, we deduce several particular identities involving numbers of combinatorial interest, such as generalized Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, Catalan numbers, binomial and trinomial coefficients, Stirling numbers. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 05A15; Secondary: 05A10.

The aim of the paper is to use some identities involving binomial coefficients to derive new combinatorial identities for balancing and Lucasbalancing polynomials. Evaluating these identities at specific points, we can also establish some combinatorial expressions for Fibonacci and Lucas numbers.

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.

Observations of the sunflower Helianthus tuberosus reveal the occurrence of both Fibonacci and Lucas numbers of visible spirals (parastichies). This species is multi-headed, allowing a quantitative study of the relative abundance of these two types of phyllotaxis. The florets follow a spiral arrangement. It is remarkable that the Lucas series occurred, almost invariably, in the first-flowering heads of individual plants. The occurrence of left-and right-handed chirality was found to be random, within experimental error, using an appropriate chirality convention. Quantitative crystallographic studies allow the average growth law to be derived (r = alτ−1; θ = 2πl/(τ + 1), where a is a constant, l is the seed cell number and τ is the golden mean [Formula: see text]). They also reveal departures from classical theoretical models of phyllotaxis, taking the form of persistent oscillations in both divergence angle and radius. The experimental results are discussed in terms of a new theoretical model for the close-packing of growing discs. Finally, a basis for synthesis of (inorganic) spiral lattice structures is proposed.
