Binomial Fibonacci sums from Chebyshev polynomials (2308.04567v1)

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 $\frac{k}{n+k}\binom{n+k}{n-k}$. The identities are derived by relating the underlying sums to Chebyshev polynomials. Finally, some combinatorial sums are studied and a connection to a paper by Chu and Guo from 2022 is derived.
