Abstract
Let be an odd prime. For , Sun introduced the determinant and investigated the Legendre symbol . Recently Wu, She and Ni proved that if , which confirms a previous conjecture of Sun. In this paper we determine in the case . Sun proved that if , in contrast we prove that if , and if . Our tools include generalized trinomial coefficients and Lucas sequences.
