This article presents several activities (some involving graphing calculators) designed to guide students to discover several interesting properties of Fibonacci numbers. Then, we explore interesting connections between Fibonacci numbers and matrices; using this connection and induction we prove divisibility properties of Fibonacci numbers. Includes problems and samples of tasks used to help student discover patterns within the Fibonacci Sequence and connections to matrix algebra.

Divisibility Properties

Let (Fn)n be the sequence of Fibonacci numbers. The order of appearance (in the Fibonacci sequence) of a positive integer n is defined as z(n)=min{k≥1:n∣Fk}. Very recently, Trojovská and Venkatachalam proved that, for any k≥1, the number z(n) is divisible by 2k, for almost all integers n≥1 (in the sense of natural density). Moreover, they posed a conjecture that implies that the same is true upon replacing 2k by any integer m≥1. In this paper, in particular, we prove this conjecture.

Matrix F̂ derived from the Fibonacci sequence was first introduced by Kara (2013) and the spaces lp(F) and l∞(F); (1 ≤ p < ∞) were examined. Then, Başarır et al. (2015) defined the spaces c0(F) and c(F) and Candan (2015) examined the spaces c(F(r,s)) and c0(F(r,s)). Later, Yaşar and Kayaduman (2018) defined and studied the spaces cs(F(s,r)) and bs(F(s,r)). In this study, we built the spaces cs(F) and bs(F). They are the domain of the matrix F on cs and bs, where F is a triangular matrix defined by Fibonacci Numbers. Some topological and algebraic properties, isomorphism, inclusion relations and norms, which are defined over them are examined. It is proven that cs(F) and bs(F) are Banach spaces. It is determined that they have the γ, β, α -duals. In addition, the Schauder base of the space cs(F) are calculated. Finally, a number of matrix transformations of these spaces are found.

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.

In this article, we explore the representation of the product of k consecutive Fibonacci numbers as the sum of kth power of Fibonacci numbers. We also present a formula for finding the coefficients of the Fibonacci numbers appearing in this representation. Finally, we extend the idea to the case of generalized Fibonacci sequence and also, we produce another formula for finding the coefficients of Fibonacci numbers appearing in the representation of three consecutive Fibonacci numbers as a particular case. Also, we point out some amazing applications of Fibonacci numbers.

In this paper, we study Johnson pseudo-contractibility of second dual of some Banach algebras. We show that the semigroup algebra [Formula: see text] is Johnson pseudo-contractible if and only if [Formula: see text] is a finite amenable group, where [Formula: see text] is an archimedean semigroup. We also show that the matrix algebra [Formula: see text] is Johnson pseudo-contractible if and only if [Formula: see text] is finite. We study Johnson pseudo-contractibility of certain projective tensor product second duals Banach algebras.

Fibonacci sequence and the limit of the quotient of adjacent Fibonacci numbers, namely the Golden Mean, belong to general knowledge of almost anybody, not only of mathematicians and geometers. There were several attempts to generalize these fundamental concepts which also found applications in art and architecture, as e.g. number series and quadratic equations leading to the so-called ``Metallic means'' by V. de Spinadel [8] or the cubic ``plastic number'' by van der Laan [5] resp. the ``cubi ratio'' by L. Rosenbusch [7]. The mentioned generalisations consider series of integers or real numbers. ``Non-standard aspects'' now mean generalisations with respect to a given number field or ring as well as visualisations of the resulting geometric objects. Another aspect concerns Fibonacci type resp. Padovan type combinations of given start objects. Here it turns out that the concept ``Golden Mean'' or ``van der Laan Mean'' also makes sense for vectors, matrices and mappings.

We present a series of instanton-like solutions to a matrix model which satisfy a self-duality condition and possess an action whose value is, to within a fixed constant factor, an integer l2. For small values of the dimension n2 of the matrix algebra the integer resembles the result of a quantization condition but as n → ∞ the ratio l/n can tend to an arbitrary real number between zero and one.
