Abstract

A generalization of the well-known Fibonacci sequence is the k − Fibonacci sequence whose first k terms are 0 , … , 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 curious numbers (i.e., numbers whose base ten representation have the form a ⋯ a b ⋯ b a ⋯ a ) . This work continues and extends the prior result of Trojovský, who found all Fibonacci numbers with a prescribed block of digits, and the result of Alahmadi et al., who searched for k -Fibonacci numbers, which are concatenation of two repdigits.
