Abstract

Let VnV_{n} denote the third order linear recursive sequence defined by the initial values V0V_{0}, V1V_{1} and V2V_{2} and the recursion Vn=rVn1+sVn2+tVn3V_{n}=rV_{n-1}+sV_{n-2}+tV_{n-3} if n3n\geq 3, where rr, ss, and tt are real constants. The {Vn}n0\{V_{n}\}_{n\geq0} are generalized Tribonacci numbers and reduce to the usual Tribonacci numbers when r=s=t=1r=s=t=1 and to the 33-bonacci numbers when r=s=1r=s=1 and t=0t=0. In this study, we introduced a quaternion sequence which has not been introduced before. We show that the new quaternion sequence that we introduced includes the previously introduced Tribonacci, Padovan, Narayana and Third order Jacobsthal quaternion sequences. We obtained the Binet formula, summation formula and the norm value for this new quaternion sequence.
