==Fibonacci pseudoprimes== When ''P'' = 1 and ''Q'' = −1, the ''U<sub>n</sub>''(''P'',''Q'') sequence represents the Fibonacci numbers. A '''Fibonacci pseudoprime''' is often<ref name="Bressoud"/>{{rp|264,}}<ref name="CrandallPomerance"/>{{rp|142,}}<ref name="Ribenboim"/>{{rp|127}} defined as a composite number ''n'' not divisible by 5 for which congruence ({{EquationNote|1}}) holds with ''P'' = 1 and ''Q'' = −1. By this definition, the Fibonacci pseudoprimes form a sequence: : 323, 377, 1891, 3827, 4181, 5777, 6601, 6721, 8149, 10877, ... {{OEIS|id=A081264}}. The references of Anderson and Jacobsen below use this definition. If ''n'' is congruent to 2 or 3 modulo 5, then Bressoud,<ref name="Bressoud"/>{{rp|272–273}} and Crandall and Pomerance<ref name="CrandallPomerance"/>{{rp|143,168}} point out that it is rare for a Fibonacci pseudoprime to also be a [[Fermat pseudoprime]] base 2. However, when ''n'' is congruent to 1 or 4 modulo 5, the opposite is true, with over 12% of Fibonacci pseudoprimes under 10<sup>11</sup> also being base-2 Fermat pseudoprimes. If ''n'' is prime and GCD(''n'', ''Q'') = 1, then we also have<ref name="lpsp"/>{{rp|1392}} {{NumBlk|:|<math>V_n(P,Q) \equiv P \pmod{n}.</math>|{{EquationRef|5}}}} This leads to an alternative definition of Fibonacci pseudoprime:<ref name = FibonacciPSP>{{cite journal |author1 = Adina Di Porto |author2 = Piero Filipponi |title = More on the Fibonacci Pseudoprimes |journal = Fibonacci Quarterly |date = 1989 |volume = 27 |issue = 3 |pages = 232–242 |url = https://www.fq.math.ca/Issues/27-3.pdf}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |author=Di Porto, Adina |author2=Filipponi, Piero |author3=Montolivo, Emilio |title=On the generalized Fibonacci pseudoprimes |journal=Fibonacci Quarterly |volume=28 |pages=347–354 |date=1990 |citeseerx=10.1.1.388.4993}}</ref> : a '''Fibonacci pseudoprime''' is a composite number ''n'' for which congruence ({{EquationNote|5}}) holds with ''P'' = 1 and ''Q'' = −1.
