Abstract

Balancing numbers nn are originally defined as the solution of the Diophantine equation 1+2++(n1)=(n+1)++(n+r)1+2+\cdots+(n-1)=(n+1)+\cdots+(n+r), where rr is called the balancer corresponding to the balancing number nn. By slightly modifying, nn is the cobalancing number with the cobalancer rr if 1+2++n=(n+1)++(n+r)1+2+\cdots+n=(n+1)+\cdots+(n+r). Let BnB_n denote the nthn^{th} balancing number and bnb_n denote the nthn^{th} cobalancing number. Then 8Bn2+18B_n^2+1 and 8bn2+8bn+18b_n^2+8b_n+1 are perfect squares. The nthn^{th} Lucas-balancing number CnC_n and the nthn^{th} Lucas-cobalancing number cnc_n are the positive roots of 8Bn2+18B_n^2+1 and 8bn2+8bn+18b_n^2+8b_n+1, respectively. In this paper, we establish some trigonometric-type identities and some arithmetic properties concerning the parity of balancing, cobalancing, Lucas-balancing and Lucas-cobalancing numbers.
