The -Bonacci weighted sequence space {ell}(,) is introduced for [&ge;] 2, 1 [&le;] < {infty}, and > 0). It is proved to be a Banach space which is isometrically isomorphic to {ell}, with an unconditional Schauder basis. The space is also reflexive and uniformly convex. Its strict inclusion chain, continuous dual, and asymptotic truncation estimate of order - / are also established. Based on this framework, Scaled &#119898-BonacciNet is proposed as a lightweight CNN that rescales Fibonacci-Net channels using the dominant &#119898-Bonacci root and employs depth wise separable convolutions. Tribonacci-Net achieved 96.09% accuracy and a 0.9581 macro F1-score on the 15-class Brain MRI dataset using 0.85 million parameters and 0.366 GFLOPs. Pentanacci-Net attained 95.87% accuracy on the 44-class dataset while reducing parameters and FLOPs by 47.10% and 44.48%, respectively. On the CKD ultrasound dataset, Hexanacci-Net achieved 83.75% accuracy and a 0.7941 macro F1-score, with corresponding reductions of 50.37% and 45.10%. These findings support dominant-root scaling as a structured approach to lightweight CNN design.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
