We have the correspondences between Lucas sequences, Pell's equations, and the automorphisms of K3 surfaces with Picard number 2. Using these correspondences, we determine the intersections of some Lucas sequences.

In this paper, we present k sequences of Generalized Van der Laan Polynomials and Generalized Perrin Polynomials using Genaralized Fibonacci and Lucas Polynomials. We give some properties of these polynomials. We also obtain generalized…

Let $(U_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be a fixed linear recurrence sequence of integers with order at least two, and for any positive integer $\ell$, let $\ell \cdot 2^{\ell} + 1$ be a Cullen number. Recently in \cite{bmt}, generalized Cullen numbers in…

In the present article, we introduce a $(p,q)$-analogue of the poly-Euler polynomials and numbers by using the $(p,q)$-polylogarithm function. These new sequences are generalizations of the poly-Euler numbers and polynomials. We give…

Let s and t be variables. Define polynomials {n} in s, t by {0}=0, {1}=1, and {n}=s{n-1}+t{n-2} for n >= 2. If s, t are integers then the corresponding sequence of integers is called a Lucas sequence. Define an analogue of the binomial…

For $A,B\in\mathbb Z$, the Lucas sequence $u_n(A,B)\ (n=0,1,2,\ldots)$ are defined by $u_0(A,B)=0$, $u_1(A,B)=1$, and $u_{n+1}(A,B) = Au_n(A,B)-Bu_{n-1}(A,B)$ $(n=1,2,3,\ldots).$ For any odd prime $p$ and positive integer $n$, we establish…

In this paper, we consider a generalization of Horadam sequence fwng which is defined by the recurrence relation wn = x(n)wn-1+ cwn-2; where x(n) = a if n is even, x(n) = b if n is odd with arbitrary initial conditions w0;w1 and nonzero…

Here, we show that if $\{U_n\}_{n\ge 0}$ is a Lucas sequence, then the largest $n$ such that $|U_n|=m_1!m_2!\cdots m_k!$ with $1<m_1\le m_2\le \cdots\le m_k$ satisfies $n<3\times 10^5$. We also give better bounds in case the roots of the…

An infinite real sequence $\{a_n\}$ is called an invariant sequence of the first (resp., second) kind if $a_n=\sum_{k=0}^n {n \choose k} (-1)^k a_k$ (resp., $a_n=\sum_{k=n}^{\infty} {k \choose n} (-1)^k a_k$). We review and investigate…

We give an elementary account of generalized Fibonacci and Lucas polynomials whose moments are Narayana polynomials of type A and type B.

In this paper we study the sets of integers which are $n$-th terms of Lucas sequences. We establish lower- and upper bounds for the size of these sets. These bounds are sharp for $n$ sufficiently large. We also develop bounds on the growth…

Motivated by the work of Prajapati \emph{et al.} \cite{PAA}, here we study some explicit form of the generalized Laguerre polynomials $L_{\lfloor\frac{n}{q}\rfloor}^{(\alpha,\beta)}(z)$, when $q=1$.

Let $1\leq a<q$ be a pair of small integers such that $\gcd(a,q)=1$ and let $x>1$ be a large number. This note discusses the existence of a short sequence of primes $p\equiv a\bmod q$ between two squares $x^2$ and $(x+1)^2$.

We present a modified version of Buczolich and Mauldin's proof that the sequence of square numbers is universally L^1-bad. We extend this result to a large class of sequences, including the dth powers and the set of primes; furthermore, we…

The generalized Lucas numbers are polynomials in two variables with nonnegative integer coefficients. Lucas versions of some combinatorial numbers with known formulas in terms of quotient and products of nonnegative integers have been…

A universal cycle is a cyclic sequence in which each object of a combinatorial family appears exactly once as a contiguous window. While such cycles are well understood for many discrete structures and linear subspaces, the case of affine…

This paper presents new identities expressing the terms of Fibonacci, Lucas, and generalized Fibonacci sequences with multiple indices through powers of Lucas numbers and binomial coefficients. The obtained formulas rely on the application…

In their study of a binomial sum related to Wolstenholme's theorem, Chamberland and Dilcher prove that the corresponding sequence modulo primes $p$ satisfies congruences that are analogous to Lucas' theorem for the binomial coefficients…

Elliptic divisibility sequences (EDSs) are generalizations of a class of integer divisibility sequences called Lucas sequences. There has been much interest in cases where the terms of Lucas sequences are squares or cubes. In this work,…

In this paper, we consider the new family of recurrence sequences of $(q,k)$-generalized Fibonacci numbers. These sequences naturally extend the well-known sequences of $k$-generalized Fibonacci numbers and generalized $k$-order Pell…
