No label defined (Q4831366)

The Fibonacci numbers are defined by \(F_0=0, F_1=1,\) and \(F_n=F_{n-1}+F_{n-2}\). In this article, the author first define two ``\(q\)-extensions'' of the Fibonacci numbers. By finding relations among these extensions, he derives three identities satisfied by the Fibonacci numbers. The author then proposes to derive new identities associated with certain extensions of known relations satisfied by the Fibonacci numbers. The three identities, namely, \[ \begin{aligned} &F_0+F_1+\cdots +F_n=F_{n+2}-1 \\ &F_{m+n} = F_{m-1}F_n+F_mF_{n+1} \\ \text{and} &F_n=2^{1-n}\sum_{0\leq 2j+1 \leq n}\left(\begin{matrix} n \\ 2j+1 \end{matrix}\right)5^j \end{aligned} \] are chosen and their extensions form the main part of this article. This is a very interesting article and it is certainly recommended for those who love Fibonacci numbers.
