Abstract

In this paper, we consider finite alternating sums derived from the generalized Fibonacci numbers Sigma(mn)(k=n)(-1)(k)/U-k, Sigma(mn)(k=n)(-1)(k)/U-2k and Sigma(mn)(k=n)(-1)(k)/U2k-1, where m and n are positive integers with m >= 2, n >= 2. Applying the greatest integer function to these sums, we obtain some equalities involving the generalized Fibonacci numbers.
