Abstract

In this paper we investigate some basic properties of a general Tribonacci sequence, namely, a third order homogeneous anharmonic recurrence sequence, by way of the linesequential formalism developed previously for Fibonacci sequence, and report some new results. Some results are related or are reducible to known results as special cases. For consistency, we use the same nomenclatures, formats and conventions adopted in our previous works, see [3]–[5]. For publications in this area, see [1], [2], [9]–[14] and the references contained therein.
