Equality of the Fibonacci gap sets

About 7 years old · traced to

Let DℓD_\ell and UℓU_\ell be the down-gap and up-gap sets, respectively, defined by

Dℓ={dk+ℓ−dk:k≥1},D_\ell=\{d_{k+\ell}-d_k:k\geq 1\},

with UℓU_\ell defined analogously. Equality of the Fibonacci gap sets. For every positive integer ℓ\ell,

Dℓ=Uℓ.D_\ell=U_\ell.

The equality is known for ℓ=1\ell=1 and ℓ=2\ell=2, but the general case is posed as an open problem and is motivated by computations and the techniques used to establish results for small gap lengths.
