Abstract:

We explore new types of binomial sums with Fibonacci and Lucas numbers. The binomial coefficients under consideration are $\frac{n}{n+k}\binom{n+k}{n-k}$ and $\frac{k}{n+k}\binom{n+k}{n-k}$. We derive the identities by relating the underlying sums to Chebyshev polynomials. Finally, we study some combinatorial sums and derive a connection with a recent paper by Chu and Guo from 2022.
