Abstract
We develop a recursive scheme, as well as polynomial forms (polynomials in of degree ), for the evaluation of Ledin and Brousseau's Fibonacci sums of the form , for non-negative integers and and arbitrary integer ; and being the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers. We also extend the study to a general second order sequence by establishing a recursive procedure to determine where is the Horadam sequence defined by where , , and are arbitrary complex numbers, with and . An explicit polynomial form for and more generally for the sum , where , is established. Finally a polynomial form is established for a Ledin-Brousseau sum involving Horadam numbers with subscripts in arithmetic progression.
