Projektive Skalen, Tschebyscheff-Polynome und Fibonacci-Zahlen. (Projective scales, Chebyshev polynomials and Fibonacci numbers.) (Q1413620)

The paper is devoted to summation formulae for telescope sums of the type \[ \sum^{+\infty}_{k=-\infty} a_k(\nu; x), \] where \(a_k(\nu; x)\) are the inverse of products of suitable combinations of modified Chebyshev polynomials. Such summation formulae have many applications in projective geometry. In the case of hyperbolic and parabolic scales the summation formula is simplified. Special cases lead to summation formulae involving Fibonacci and Lucas numbers. The paper closes with the discussion of the non-summable case related to elliptic scales.
