On some combinatorial properties of generalized commutative Jacobsthal quaternions and generalized commutative Jacobsthal-Lucas quaternions

Dorota Bród, Anetta Szynal-Liana, Iwona Włoch (2022)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We study generalized commutative Jacobsthal quaternions and generalized commutative Jacobsthal-Lucas quaternions. We present some properties of these quaternions and the relations between the generalized commutative Jacobsthal quaternions and generalized commutative Jacobsthal-Lucas quaternions.

On square classes in generalized Fibonacci sequences

Zafer Şiar, Refik Keskin (2016)

Acta Arithmetica

Let P and Q be nonzero integers. The generalized Fibonacci and Lucas sequences are defined respectively as follows: U₀ = 0, U₁ = 1, V₀ = 2, V₁ = P and U n + 1 = P U + Q U n - 1 , V n + 1 = P V + Q V n - 1 for n ≥ 1. In this paper, when w ∈ 1,2,3,6, for all odd relatively prime values of P and Q such that P ≥ 1 and P² + 4Q > 0, we determine all n and m satisfying the equation Uₙ = wUₘx². In particular, when k|P and k > 1, we solve the equations Uₙ = kx² and Uₙ = 2kx². As a result, we determine all n such that Uₙ = 6x².

On terms of linear recurrence sequences with only one distinct block of digits

Diego Marques, Alain Togbé (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

In 2000, Florian Luca proved that F₁₀ = 55 and L₅ = 11 are the largest numbers with only one distinct digit in the Fibonacci and Lucas sequences, respectively. In this paper, we find terms of a linear recurrence sequence with only one block of digits in its expansion in base g ≥ 2. As an application, we generalize Luca's result by finding the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers with only one distinct block of digits of length up to 10 in its decimal expansion.

On Ternary Integral Recurrences

A. Schinzel (2015)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

We prove that if a,b,c,d,e,m are integers, m > 0 and (m,ac) = 1, then there exist infinitely many positive integers n such that m|(an+b)cⁿ - deⁿ. Hence we derive a similar conclusion for ternary integral recurrences.

On the Collatz conjecture

Sebastian Hebda (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We propose two conjectures which imply the Collatz conjecture. We give a numerical evidence for the second conjecture.

On the Diophantine equation x 2 - k x y + y 2 - 2 n = 0

Refik Keskin, Zafer Şiar, Olcay Karaatlı (2013)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this study, we determine when the Diophantine equation x 2 - k x y + y 2 - 2 n = 0 has an infinite number of positive integer solutions x and y for 0 n 10 . Moreover, we give all positive integer solutions of the same equation for 0 n 10 in terms of generalized Fibonacci sequence. Lastly, we formulate a conjecture related to the Diophantine equation x 2 - k x y + y 2 - 2 n = 0 .
