ON DETERMINATION OF k-FIBONACCI AND k-LUCAS NUMBERS

In this study we investigate some properties of the k-Fibonacci and k-Lucas sequences which are generalize the classical Fibonacci and Lucas sequences. Moreover, two efficient tests are introduced as to whether or not a positive integer is k-Fibonacci or k-Lucas.
