ACMS reciprocal-sum formulas for negative generalized Fibonacci parameters

At least 11 years old · documented by

Let fn(s,t)f_n(s,t) be the generalized Fibonacci sequence, let Z+\mathbb{Z}^+ denote the positive integers, and let ⌊⋅⌋\lfloor\cdot\rfloor be the floor function. ACMS conjecture. If s>t≥1s>t\ge1, (s,−t)≠(2,−1)(s,-t)\ne(2,-1), and n,r∈Z+n,r\in\mathbb{Z}^+, then

⌊(∑k=n∞1frk(s,−t))−1⌋=frn(s,−t)−fr(n−1)(s,−t)−1.\left\lfloor\left(\sum_{k=n}^{\infty}\frac{1}{f_{rk}(s,-t)}\right)^{-1}\right\rfloor=f_{rn}(s,-t)-f_{r(n-1)}(s,-t)-1.

If t=−1t=-1 and s,n,r∈Z+s,n,r\in\mathbb{Z}^+, then

⌊(∑k=n∞1frk(s,−1)2)−1⌋=frn(s,−1)2−fr(n−1)(s,−1)2−1.\left\lfloor\left(\sum_{k=n}^{\infty}\frac{1}{f_{rk}(s,-1)^2}\right)^{-1}\right\rfloor=f_{rn}(s,-1)^2-f_{r(n-1)}(s,-1)^2-1.

These formulas are presented as the conjectured analogue for negative parameters of the preceding reciprocal-sum theorem. The supplied text gives no resolution evidence.
