Abstract

For any sequence , the Smarandache-Pascal derived sequence of is defined as , , , generally, for all , where is the combination number. In reference (Murthy and Ashbacher in Generalized Partitions and New Ideas on Number Theory and Smarandache Sequences, 2005), authors proposed a series of conjectures related to Fibonacci numbers and its Smarandache-Pascal derived sequence, one of them is that if , then we have the recurrence formula , . The main purpose of this paper is using the elementary method and the properties of the second-order linear recurrence sequence to study these problems and to prove a generalized conclusion.

Highlights

  • For any sequence {bn}, we define a new sequence {Tn} through the following method:T = b, T = b + b, T = b + b + b, generally, Tn+ = n k= n k· bk+ for all n ≥, where n kThis sequence is called the Smarandache-Pascal derived sequence of {bn}

  • In reference (Murthy and Ashbacher in Generalized Partitions and New Ideas on Number Theory and Smarandache Sequences, 2005), authors proposed a series of conjectures related to Fibonacci numbers and its Smarandache-Pascal derived sequence, one of them is that if {bn} = {F1, F9, F17, . . .}, we have the recurrence formula Tn+1 = 49 · (Tn – Tn–1), n ≥ 2

Summary

Introduction

For any sequence {bn}, the Smarandache-Pascal derived sequence {Tn} of {bn} is defined as T1 = b1, T2 = b1 + b2, T3 = b1 + 2b2 + b3, generally, Tn+1 = . .}, we have the recurrence formula Tn+1 = 49 · (Tn – Tn–1), n ≥ 2. Murthy and Ashbacher [ ] proposed a series of conjectures related to Fibonacci numbers and its Smarandache-Pascal derived sequence; three of them are as follows.
