A summation formula for generalized k-bonacci numbers
Abstract
In this note, we present a simple summation formula for k-bonacci numbers. The derivation consists in obtaining the generating function of such numbers, and noting that its evaluation at a particular value yields a formula generalizing a known expression for Fibonacci numbers.
