Abstract
The following relation between Fibonacci and Lucas numbers of order k, is derived by means of colored tiling. This relation generalizes the well-known Fibonacci-Lucas identities, and of A.T. Benjamin and J.J. Quinn, D. Marques, and T. Edgar, respectively.
期刊介绍:
Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics is a venue for the rapid electronic publication of the proceedings of conferences, of lecture notes, monographs and other similar material for which quick publication is appropriate. Organizers of conferences whose proceedings appear in Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, and authors of other material appearing as a volume in the series are allowed to make hard copies of the relevant volume for limited distribution. For example, conference proceedings may be distributed to participants at the meeting, and lecture notes can be distributed to those taking a course based on the material in the volume.
