An exercise on Fibonacci representations
RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications, Tome 35 (2001) no. 6, pp. 491-498.

We give a partial answer to a question of Carlitz asking for a closed formula for the number of distinct representations of an integer in the Fibonacci base.
