We describe the set of prime numbers splitting completely in the non-abelian splitting field of certain monic irreducible polynomials of degree three. As an application we establish some divisibility properties of the associated ternary…
We show that essentially the Fibonacci sequence is the unique binary recurrence which contains infinitely many three-term arithmetic progressions. A criterion for general linear recurrences having infinitely many three-term arithmetic…
We consider $m$-th order linear recurrences that can be thought of as generalizations of the Lucas sequence. We exploit some interplay with matrices that again can be considered generalizations of the Fibonacci matrix. We introduce the…
Let $ (G_n)_{n=0}^{\infty} $ be a polynomial power sum, i.e. a simple linear recurrence sequence of complex polynomials with power sum representation $ G_n = f_1\alpha_1^n + \cdots + f_k\alpha_k^n $ and polynomial characteristic roots $…
The Tribonacci sequence is a well-known example of third order recurrence sequence, which belongs to a particular class of recursive sequences. In this article, other generalized Tribonacci sequence is introduced and defined by…
The generalized Fibonacci sequences are sequences $\{f_n\}$ which satisfy the recurrence $f_n(s, t) = sf_{n - 1}(s, t) + tf_{n - 2}(s, t)$ ($s, t \in \mathbb{Z}$) with initial conditions $f_0(s, t) = 0$ and $f_1(s, t) = 1$. In a recent…
Let t[n] be a sequence that satisfies a first order homogeneous recurrence t[n] = Q[n]*t[n-1], where Q is a polynomial with integer coefficients. The asymptotic behavior of the p-adic valuation of t[n] is described under the assumption that…
We begin by considering faithful matrix representations of elementary abelian groups in prime characteristic. The representations considered are seen to be determined up to change of bases by a single number. Studying this number leads to a…
We investigate the arithmetic nature of P-recursive sequences through the lens of their D-finite generating functions. Building on classical tools from differential algebra, we revisit the integrality criterion for Motzkin-type sequences…
By investigating a recurrence relation about functions, we first give alternative proofs of various identities on Fibonacci numbers and Lucas numbers, and then, make certain well known identities visible via certain trivalent graph…
Linear recursions of degree $k$ are determined by evaluating the sequence of Generalized Fibonacci Polynomials, $\{F_{k,n}(t_1,...,t_k)\}$ (isobaric reflects of the complete symmetric polynomials) at the integer vectors $(t_1,...,t_k)$. If…
Let $b \geq 2$ be an integer base with prime factors $p_1, \ldots, p_s$. In this paper we study sequences of "$b$-adic valuations" and last nonzero digits in $b$-adic expansions of the values $f(n) = (f_1(n), \ldots, f_s(n))$, where each…
A second order polynomial sequence is of Fibonacci-type $\mathcal{F}_{n}$ (Lucas-type $\mathcal{L}_{n}$) if its Binet formula has a structure similar to that for Fibonacci (Lucas) numbers. Under certain conditions these polynomials are…
We prove several evaluations of determinants of matrices, the entries of which are given by the recurrence $a_{i,j}=a_{i-1,j}+a_{i,j-1}$, or variations thereof. These evaluations were either conjectured or extend conjectures by Roland…
One of the most interesting results of the last century was the proof completed by Matijasevich that computably enumerable sets are precisely the diophantine sets [MRDP Theorem, 9], thus settling, based on previously developed machinery,…
We consider a sequence of sums of powers of the the roots of the cubic equation characterizing the Tribonacci sequences and derive its relationship with a particular Tribonacci sequence. Then we make a conjecture on the possible…
In this paper, we shall find a new connection between $n$th degree polynomial mod $p$ congruence with $n$ roots and higher-order Fibonacci and Lucas sequences. We shall first discuss the recent work been done in sequences and their…
We say that an arithmetical function $S:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}$ has Lucas property if for any prime $p$, \begin{equation*} S(n)\equiv S(n_{0})S(n_{1})\ldots S(n_{r})\pmod p, \end{equation*} where $n=\sum_{i=0}^{r}n_{i}p^{i}$, with…
In this work, we define a more general family of polynomials in several variables satisfying a linear recurrence relation. Then we provide explicit formulas and determinantal expressions. Finally, we apply these results to recurrent…
In this paper, we will show that the $p$-adic valuation (where $p$ is a given prime number) of some type of rational numbers is unusually large. This generalizes the very recent results by the author and by A. Dubickas, which are both…
