Some new combinatorial identities derived from units in algebraic number fields (Q1059635)

The result obtained in the paper rests upon the Bernstein's method [cf. \textit{L. Bernstein}, J. Number Theory 6, 264-270 (1974; Zbl 0291.05008), 10, 354-383 (1978; Zbl 0391.12002)]. This method enables combinatorial identities to be derived from explicitly stated units in algebraic number fields of degree n 2. Let \(e=w-D\) be a unit in a cubic field where \(w^ 3=D^ 3+1\), D is positive integer. Then \(z_ n=t^ 2_{n+1}-t_ nt_{n+2}\) and \(t_ n=z^ 2_{n-1}-z_ nz_{n-2}\), \(n=0,1,2,...\), are two combinatorial identities, where \(t_{n+2}\) and \(z_{n+1}\) are given by some recursion formulas and in explicit form (too involved to be reproduced here).
