Abstract

In this short note, we discuss the integer part for the inverse of 1 − Πk=n∞(1 − 1/Tk), where Tn are the Tribonacci numbers. We also consider a similar formula for the Tribonacci numbers with indices in arithmetic progression and give an open problem of the Diophantine equation about the Tribonacci numbers.
