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.
