On Certain Polynomials of Even Subscripted Lucas Numbers

  • Chapter
Applications of Fibonacci Numbers

Abstract

A recent paper of Swamy [4] contains eight finite sums. Three of these are sums discovered by Jennings [3] which express F (2p+1)n as a polynomial in F n, and F mn/F n as a polynomial in L n. Three are sums discovered by Filipponi [2] which express L mn as a polynomial in L n, and L 2qn as a polynomial in F n. The remaining two are sums discovered by Swamy which express F 2qn/L n as a polynomial in F n, and L (2q+1)n/L n as a polynomial in F n.
