Golden proportions for the generalized Fibonacci numbers (Q2888313)

The following generalization of the Fibonacci sequence is introduced: let \(\{F_n \}\) be a sequence for which \(F_n + F_{n+a} = F_{n+c},\) where \(1 \leq a < c\) are integers. Let \(1 < M < 2\) be a constant. It is proved that it is always true NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{F_{n+a+k}}{F_{n+a}} = M^kNEWLINE\]NEWLINE for \(k = 1,2,3,..., \) unless both \(a\) and \(c\) are even and \(k\) is odd.
