Abstract:

In this article, we consider infinite sums of the reciprocals of the tribonacci numbers. Then, by applying the floor function to the reciprocals of these sums, we obtain a new identity involving the tribonacci numbers. Further, we give the formulas for an alternating sum of the reciprocals of the tribonacci numbers and a sum of reciprocal hypertribonacci numbers.
