Abstract

In 1998, Filipponi and Hart introduced many Zeckendorf representations of Fibonacci, Lucas and mixed products involving two variables. In 2008, Artz and Rowell proved the simplest of these identities, the Fibonacci product, using tilings. This paper extends the work done by Artz and Rowell to many of the remaining identities from Filipponi and Hart’s work. We also answer an open problem raised by Artz and Rowell and present many Zeckendorf representations of mixed products involving three variables.
