COMMENT

Let n = Sum_{i >= 2} eps(i) Fib_i and k = Sum_{j >= 2} eps(j) Fib_j be the Zeckendorf expansions of n and k, respectively (cf. A035517, A014417). (The eps(i) are 0 or 1, and no two consecutive eps(i) are both 1.) Then the Fibonacci (or circle) product of n and k is n o k = Sum_{i,j} eps(i)*eps(j) Fib_{i+j} (= T(n,k)).

The Zeckendorf expansion can be written n=sum_{1<=i<=k} F(a_i), where a_{i+1} >= a_i + 2. In this formulation, the product becomes: if n = sum_{1<=i<=k} F(a_i) and m = sum_{1<=j<=l} F(b_j) then n o m = sum_{i=1}^k sum_{j=1}^l F(a_i + b_j).

Knuth shows that this multiplication is associative. This is not true if we change the product to n x k = Sum_{i,j} eps(i)*eps(j) Fib_{i+j-2}, see A101646. Of course 1 is not a multiplicative identity here, whereas it is in A101646.

The papers by Arnoux, Grabner et al. and Messaoudi discuss this sequence and generalizations.
