Abstract

Fibonacci and Lucas sequences are basic examples of second-order recurrences, and their behavior is closely connected to the golden ratio. Bernoulli numbers and special values of the Riemann zeta function also form a classical part of number theory. This paper connects these two areas through exact finite identities. The method starts from exponential generating functions, separates the odd-indexed terms, applies Bernoulli generating functions, and then compares coefficients. This gives a finite formula in which a weighted sum of zeta values at non-positive integers becomes an explicit Fibonacci expression. The same argument also gives a Lucas version, and then extends to every sequence satisfying the Fibonacci recurrence with arbitrary initial values. Exact symbolic checks and residual plot are included to show how the cancellation works. The result is a complete unconditional link between Fibonaccitype recurrences, Bernoulli numbers, and special zeta values.
