Recently some authors have investigated inhomogeneous linear second order recurrence sequences like \(u_n=bu_{n-1}+cu_{n-2}+k\), with \(b, c, k\) integral and non-zero. The author of this paper considers the problem of when the sequences are also generated by a geometric sequence \(u_n=xu_{n-1}+g\), where \(x\) and \(g\) are some suitable real numbers. As results, he shows that \(x=\frac{b\pm\sqrt{b^2+4c}}{2}\) and \(g=\frac{k}{x-b+1}\), provided \(x-b+1\neq 0\). Applications to many types of second order linear sequences investigated before are demonstrated. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0930.00038].
