Conservation of the Integrality of Certain Quotients by
Iterated Substitutions of Lucas Numbers
Abstract.
If we replace k by a Lucas number,
(uk-vk)/(u-v), in
certain integral quotients such as the binomial coefficients, the
quotient remains integral. We show that this substitution may be
repeated indefinitely, while preserving the integrality, for a very
large class of quotients.
