- Abstract
- Motivated by the Elementary Problem B-416 in the Fibonacci Quarterly, we show that, given any integers n and r with n >= 2, every positive integer can be expressed as a sum of Fibonacci numbers whose indices are distinct integers not congruent to r modulo n. Similar expressions are also dealt with for the case of Lucas numbers. Symmetric and anti-symmetric properties of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers are used in the proofs.
