On Fibonacci-Hessenberg matrices and the Pell and Perrin numbers (Q440717): Difference between revisions

The author gives examples of recursive sequences of Hessenberg matrices \(A_{n}\) (\(n=1,2,\dots\) where \(A_{n}\) is \(n\times n\)) for which the sequences \(\left\{ \det A_{n}\right\} \) satisfy a simple second order recurrence relation. Proofs are elementary.
