The Hadamard-type k-step Pell sequences

Abstract

In this paper, we define the Hadamard-type k-step Pell sequence by using the Hadamard-type product of characteristic polynomials of the Pell sequence and the k-step Pell sequence. Also, we derive the generating matrices for these sequences, and then we obtain relationships between the Hadamard-type k-step Pell sequences and these generating matrices. Furthermore, we produce the Binet formula for the Hadamard-type k-step Pell numbers for the case that k is odd integers and k >= 3. Finally, we derive some properties of the Hadamard-type k-step Pell sequences such as the combinatorial representation, the generating function, and the exponential representation by using its generating matrix.
