Multivariable Lucas polynomials and lucanomials

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Lucas polynomials are polynomials in s1 and s2 defined recursively by 0=0, 1=1, and m=s1m−1+s2m−2 for mgeq2. We generalize Lucas polynomials from 2-variable polynomials to multivariable polynomials. This is done by first defining r-Lucas polynomials mr in the variables s1, sr, and s2r. We show that the binomial analogues of the r-Lucas polynomials are polynomial and give a combinatorial interpretation for them. We then extend the generalization of Lucas polynomials to an arbitrarily large set of variables. Recursively defined generating functions are given for these multivariable Lucas polynomials. We conclude by giving additional applications and insights.
