A generalization of Fibonacci and Lucas matrices (Q948682)

We define the matrix \({\mathcal U}^{(a,b,s)}_n\) of type \(s\), whose elements are defined by the general second-order non-degenerated sequence and introduce the notion of the generalized Fibonacci matrix \({\mathcal F}^{(a,b,s)}_n\), whose nonzero elements are generalized Fibonacci numbers. We observe two regular cases of these matrices (\(s=0\) and \(s=1\)). Generalized Fibonacci matrices in certain cases give the usual Fibonacci matrix and the Lucas matrix. Inverse of the matrix \({\mathcal U}^{(a,b,s)}_n\) is derived. In partial case we get the inverse of the generalized Fibonacci matrix \({\mathcal F}^{(a,b,0)}_n\) and later known results from \textit{G.-Y. Lee, J.-S. Kim} and \textit{S.-G. Lee} [Fibonacci Q. 40, No. 3, 203--211 (2002; Zbl 1079.11012)]; \textit{P. Stǎnicǎ} [Integers 5, No.~2, Paper A16, 11 p., electronic only (2005; Zbl 1139.11307)], and \textit{Z. Zhang} and \textit{Y. Zhang} [Indian J. Pure Appl. Math. 38, No. 5, 457--465 (2007; Zbl 1149.15014)]. Correlations between the matrices \({\mathcal U}^{(a,b,s)}_n\), \({\mathcal F}^{(a,b,s)}_n\) and the generalized Pascal matrices are considered. In the case \(a=0\), \(b=1\) we get known result for Fibonacci matrices [cf. \textit{G.-Y. Lee, J.-S. Kim} and \textit{S.-H. Cho}, Discrete Appl. Math. 130, No. 3, 527--534 (2003; Zbl 1020.05016)]. Analogous result for Lucas matrices, originated in [\textit{Z. Zhang} and \textit{Y. Zhang}, loc.cit.], can be derived in the partial case \(a=2\), \(b=1\). Some combinatorial identities involving generalized Fibonacci numbers are derived.
