We study a generalization of Pell's equation, whose coefficients are certain algebraic integers. Let $X_0=0$ and $X_n=\sqrt{2+X_{n-1}}$ for each $n\in \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 1}$. We study the $\mathbb{Z}[X_{n-1}]$-solutions of the equation…
Fibonacci polynomials are generalizations of Fibonacci numbers, so it is natural to consider polynomial versions of the various results for Fibonacci numbers. According to Hong, Pongsriiam, Bulawa, and Lee, the generating function of the…

We define a family {$\gamma(P)$} of generalized Euler constants indexed by finite sets of primes $P$ and study their distribution. These arise from partial sums of reciprocals of integers not divisible by any prime in $P$. An apparent…
From an identity connecting a combinatorial sum and Legendre polynomials, we derive closed forms for a number of combinatorial sums. Some of them are obtained via results about the integrals of functions associated with Legendre…
The notion of generalized Bell numbers has appeared in several works but there is no systematic treatise on this topic. In this paper we fill this gap. We discuss the most important combinatorial, algebraic and analytic properties of these…

In this paper, new families of generalized Fibonacci and Lucas numbers are introduced. In addition, we present the recurrence relations and the generating functions of the new families for $k=2$.
