We establish some new combinatorial identities involving Euler polynomials and balancing (Lucas-balancing) polynomials. The derivations use elementary techniques and are based on functional equations for the respective generating functions. From these polynomial relations, we deduce interesting identities with Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, and Euler numbers. The results must be regarded as companion results to some Fibonacci-Bernoulli identities, which we derived in our previous paper.
Using generating functions, we derive many identities involving balancing and Lucas-balancing polynomials. By relating these polynomials to Chebyshev polynomials of the first and second kind, and Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, we offer some presumably new combinatorial identities involving these famous sequences.
In this paper, we introduce a generalization of Balancing and Balancing-Lucas numbers. We describe some of their properties also we give the related matrix representation and divisibility properties.
Repdigits are natural numbers formed by the repetition of a single digit. In this paper, we explore the presence of repdigits in the product of consecutive balancing or Lucas-balancing numbers.
Balancing numbers $n$ are originally defined as the solution of the Diophantine equation $1+2+\cdots+(n-1)=(n+1)+\cdots+(n+r)$, where $r$ is called the balancer corresponding to the balancing number $n$. By slightly modifying, $n$ is the cobalancing number with the cobalancer $r$ if $1+2+\cdots+n=(n+1)+\cdots+(n+r)$. Let $B_n$ denote the $n^{th}$ balancing number and $b_n$ denote the $n^{th}$ cobalancing number. Then $8B_n^2+1$ and $8b_n^2+8b_n+1$ are perfect squares. The $n^{th}$ Lucas-balancing number $C_n$ and the $n^{th}$ Lucas-cobalancing number $c_n$ are the positive roots of $8B_n^2+1$ …
In this article the Diophantine equations of the form $x^{2}-8C_{n}xy+ 16y^{2}=\pm2^{r}$, $x^{4}-8C_{n}x^{2}y+ 16y^{2}=\pm2^{r}$ and $x^{2}-8C_{n}xy^{2}+ 16y^{4}=\pm2^{r}$ are taken into consideration for the investigations of existence of any positive integer solutions. Furthermore, the solutions are manifested in terms of the balancing, Pell and Lucas-Pell numbers.
In 2009, Luca and Nicolae proved that the only Fibonacci numbers whose Euler totient function is another Fibonacci number are $1,2$, and $3$. In 2015, Faye and Luca proved that the only Pell numbers whose Euler totient function is another Pell number are $1$ and $2$. Here we add to these two results and prove that for any fixed natural number $P\geq 3$, if we define the sequence $\left(u_n\right)_n$ as $u_0=0$, $u_1=1$, and $u_n=Pu_{n-1}+u_{n-2}$ for all $n\geq 2$, then the only solution to the Diophantine equation $φ\left(u_n\right)=u_m$ is $φ\left(u_1\right)=φ(1)=1=u_1$.
We continue our study on relationships between Bernoulli polynomials and balancing (Lucas-balancing) polynomials. From these polynomial relations, we deduce new combinatorial identities with Fibonacci (Lucas) and Bernoulli numbers. Moreover, we prove a special identity involving Bernoulli polynomials and Fibonacci numbers in arithmetic progression. Special cases and some corollaries will highlight interesting aspects of our findings. Our results complement and generalize these of Frontczak (2019).
We consider the Markoff-Rosenberger equation $$ax^2+by^2+cz^2=dxyz$$ with $(x,y,z)=(U_i,U_j,U_k),$ where $U_i$ denotes the $i$-th generalized Lucas number of first/second kind. We provide upper bound for the minimum of the indices and we apply the result to completely resolve concrete equations, e.g. we determine solutions containing only balancing numbers and Jacobsthal numbers, respectively.
This paper is concerned with the generalized Euler polynomial matrix $\E^{(α)}(x)$ and the Euler matrix $\E$. Taking into account some properties of Euler polynomials and numbers, we deduce product formulae for $\E^{(α)}(x)$ and determine the inverse matrix of $\E$. We establish some explicit expressions for the Euler polynomial matrix $\E(x)$, which involving the generalized Pascal, Fibonacci and Lucas matrices, respectively. From these formulae we get some new interesting identities involving Fibonacci and Lucas numbers. Also, we provide some factorizations of the Euler polynomial matrix in …
We evaluate some types of infinite series with balancing and Lucas-balancing polynomials in closed form. These evaluations will lead to some new curious series for $π$ involving Fibonacci and Lucas numbers. Our findings complement those of Castellanos from 1986 and 1989.
A composite positive integer n is Lehmer if ϕ(n) divides n-1, where ϕ(n) is the Euler's totient function. No Lehmer number is known, nor has it been proved that they don't exist. In 2007, the second author [7] proved that there is no Lehmer number in the Fibonacci sequence. In this paper, we adapt the method from [7] to show that there is no Lehmer number in the companion Lucas sequence of the Fibonacci sequence $(L_n)_{n\geq 0}$ given by $L_0 = 2, L_1 = 1$ and $L_{n+2} = L_{n+1} + L_n$ for all $n\geq 0.$
Many kinds of convolution identities have been considered about several numbers, including Bernoulli, Euler, Genocchi, Cauchy, Stirling, and Fibonacci numbers. The well-known basic result about Bernoulli numbers is due to Euler. The convolution identities have been studied. In this paper, we give convolution identities for Tribonacci numbers without binomial coefficients and with binomial coefficients. Convolution identities of Fiboancci numbers or Lucas numbers can be expressed in the form of linear combinations of Fibonacci numbers and Lucas numbers only. Fibonacci numbers and Lucas numbers …
The upper bound and the lower bound of average numbers of divisors of Euler Phi function and Carmichael Lambda function are obtained by Luca and Pomerance (see \cite{LP}). We improve the lower bound and provide a heuristic argument which suggests that the upper bound given by \cite{LP} is indeed close to the truth.
Balancing and Lucas-balancing numbers are solutions of a Diophantine equation and satisfy a second order homogeneous recurrence relation. Interestingly, these numbers can be seen as numerators and denominators in the steady state probabilities of a class of transition probability matrices of Markov chains. An identity relating the balancing numbers and the silver ratio can be obtained as a byproduct.
The balancing numbers $B_n$ ($n=0,1,\cdots$) are solutions of the binary recurrence $B_n=6B_{n-1}-B_{n-2}$ ($n\ge 2$) with $B_0=0$ and $B_1=1$. In this paper we show several relations about the sums of product of two balancing numbers of the type $\sum_{m=0}^n B_{k m+r}B_{k(n-m)+r}$ ($k>r\ge 0$) and the alternating sum of reciprocal of balancing numbers $\left\lfloor\left(\sum_{k=n}^\infty\frac{1}{B_{l k}}\right)^{-1}\right\rfloor$. Similar results are also obtained for Lucas-balancing numbers $C_n$ ($n=0,1,\cdots$), satisfying the binary recurrence $C_n=6C_{n-1}-C_{n-2}$ ($n\ge 2$) with $C_0=…
We study two types of dynamical extensions of Lucas sequences and give elliptic solutions for them. The first type concerns a level-dependent (or discrete time-dependent) version involving commuting variables. We show that a nice solution for this system is given by elliptic numbers. The second type involves a non-commutative version of Lucas sequences which defines the non-commutative (or abstract) Fibonacci polynomials introduced by Johann Cigler. If the non-commuting variables are specialized to be elliptic-commuting variables the abstract Fibonacci polynomials become non-commutative ellipt…
The main object of the paper is to reveal connections between Chebyshev polynomials of the first and second kinds and Fibonacci polynomials introduced by Catalan. This is achieved by relating the respective (ordinary and exponential) generating functions to each other. As a consequence, we also establish new combinatorial identities for balancing polynomials and Fibonacci (Lucas) numbers.
The main purpose of this paper is to construct new families of special numbers with their generating functions. These numbers are related to the many well-known numbers, which are the Bernoulli numbers, the Fibonacci numbers, the Lucas numbers, the Stirling numbers of the second kind and the central factorial numbers. Our other inspiration of this paper is related to the Golombek's problem \cite{golombek} \textquotedblleft Aufgabe 1088, El. Math. 49 (1994) 126-127\textquotedblright . Our first numbers are not only related to the Golombek's problem, but also computation of the negative order Eu…
Partitions of the set of primes are introduced based on the Chebyshev polynomials at rationals. The prime densities of all such partitions are established. Euler's Criterion for $SL(2,\mathbb Q)$ is formulated, which is the bridge between the algebra of Chebyshev polynomials and number-theoretic properties of the partitions. It is shown how to obtain in this way some of the classical theory of Lucas sequences. A hidden symmetry of the problem is revealed by the new language. As an application number-theoretic properties of simple dynamical systems (rotations and certain interval maps) are disc…
Euler noted the relation $6^3=3^3+4^3+5^3$ and asked for other instances of cubes that are sums of consecutive cubes. Similar problems have been studied by Cunningham, Catalan, Gennochi, Lucas, Pagliani, Cassels, Uchiyama, Stroeker and Zhongfeng Zhang. In particular Stroeker determined all squares that can be written as a sum of at most $50$ consecutive cubes. We generalize Stroeker's work by determining all perfect powers that are sums of at most $50$ consecutive cubes. Our methods include descent, linear forms in two logarithms, and Frey-Hellegouarch curves.
