The Fibonacci length of certain centro-polyhedral groups. (English) Zbl 1079.20047
Summary: We examine the Fibonacci length of certain centro-polyhedral groups and show that in some cases the lengths depend on trobonacci sequences. Further we obtain specific examples of infinite families of three-generator groups with constant, linear and (3-step) Wall number dependent Fibonacci length.
