Connecting Zeros in Pisano Periods to Prime Factors of $K$ -Fibonacci Numbers

Brennan Benfield, Oliver Lippard

The Fibonacci sequence is periodic modulo every positive integer $m > 1$ , and perhaps more surprisingly, each period has exactly 1, 2, or 4 zeros that are evenly spaced, which also h…

End behavior of Ramanujan's taxicab numbers

Brennan Benfield, Oliver Lippard, Arindam Roy

Generalized taxicab numbers are the smallest positive integers that are the sum of exactly $j$ , positive $k$ -th powers in exactly $m$ distinct ways. This paper is considers for whi…

Fixed points of K-Fibonacci sequences

Brennan Benfield, Oliver Lippard

A $K$ -Fibonacci sequence is a binary recurrence sequence where $F_{0} = 0$ , $F_{1} = 1$ , and $F_{n} = K \cdot F_{n - 1} + F_{n - 2}$ . These sequences are known to be periodic modulo every positive in…

Integers that are not the sum of positive powers

Brennan Benfield, Oliver Lippard

The generalized Waring problem asks exactly which positive integers cannot be expressed as the sum of $j$ positive $k$ -th powers? Using computational techniques, this paper refines…

The Fibonacci Sequence is Normal Base 10

Brennan Benfield, Michelle Manes

In this paper, we show that the concatenation of the Fibonacci sequence is \textit{normal} in base $10$ , meaning every string of a given length, $k$ , occurs as frequently as every…
