$k$--Fibonacci numbers with two blocks of repdigits

A generalization of the well--known Fibonacci sequence is the $k$--Fibonacci sequence with some fixed integer $k\ge 2$. The first $k$ terms of this sequence are $0,\ldots,0,1$, and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding $k$ terms. In this paper, we find all $k$--Fibonacci numbers that are concatenations of two repdigits. This generalizes prior results which dealt with the above problem for the particular cases of Fibonacci and Tribonacci numbers.

On a problem of Pillai with $k$-generalised Fibonacci numbers and powers of $2$

For an integer $ k\geq 2 $, let $ \{F^{(k)}_{n} \}_{n\geq 0}$ be the $ k$--generalized Fibonacci sequence which starts with $ 0, \ldots, 0, 1 $ ($ k $ terms) and each term afterwards is the sum of the $ k $ preceding terms. In this paper, we find all integers $c$ having at least two representations as a difference between a $k$--generalized Fibonacci number and a powers of 2 for any fixed $k \geqslant 4$. This paper extends previous work from [9] for the case $k=2$ and [6] for the case $k=3$.

$B_{h}[g]$ modular sets from $B_{h}$ modular sets

A set of positive integers $A$ is called a $B_{h}[g]$ set if there are at most $g$ different sums of $h$ elements from $A$ with the same result. This definition has a generalization to abelian groups and the main problem related to this kind of sets, is to find $B_{h}[g]$ maximal sets i.e. those with larger cardinality. We construct $B_{h}[g]$ modular sets from $B_{h}$ modular sets using homomorphisms and analyze the constructions of $B_{h}$ sets by Bose and Chowla, Ruzsa, and Gómez and Trujillo look at for the suitable homomorphism that allows us to preserve the cardinal of this types of sets.

Powers of two as sums of two $k-$Fibonacci numbers

For an integer $k\geq 2$, let $(F_{n}^{(k)})_{n}$ be the $k-$Fibonacci sequence which starts with $0,\ldots,0,1$ ($k$ terms) and each term afterwards is the sum of the $k$ preceding terms. In this paper, we search for powers of 2 which are sums of two $k-$Fibonacci numbers. The main tools used in this work are lower bounds for linear forms in logarithms and a version of the Baker--Davenport reduction method in diophantine approximation. This paper continues and extends the previous work of \cite{BL2} and \cite{BL13}.
