Abstract

This note fleshes out some of the characteristics of what is referred to as a Zeckendorf triangle which is composed of Fibonacci number multiples of the Fibonacci sequence. It arose it arose in an infinite binary matrix related to the Zeckendorf representations of the non-negative integers.
