Abstract:
The m-th Cullen number Cm
is a number of the form
m2m + 1 and the m-th
Woodall number Wm has the form
m2m - 1. In 2003, Luca and
Stănică
proved that the largest Fibonacci number in the Cullen sequence is
F4 =
3 and that
F1 = F2 = 1
are the largest Fibonacci numbers in the Woodall
sequence. A generalization of these sequences is defined by
Cm,s = m sm + 1
and
Wm,s = m sm - 1
for s > 1. In this paper, we search for Fibonacci
numbers belonging to these generalized Cullen and Woodall sequences.
