Abstract
In this paper, we first prove that for any strong divisibility sequences , we have the identity: , generalizing the identity of Farhi (obtained in 2009 for ). Then, we derive from this one some other interesting identities. Finally, we apply those identities to estimate the least common multiple of the consecutive terms of some Lucas sequences. Denoting by the usual Fibonacci sequence, we prove for example that for all , we have where denotes the golden ratio.
