Review text

Let \(a_0,a_1,\dots,a_{r-1}\) be arbitrary complex numbers. In the paper for a given sequence of complex numbers \(A=(\alpha_{-r+1}, \alpha_{-r+2},\dots,\alpha_0)\) the weighted \(r\)-generalized Fibonacci sequence \(\{y_A(n)\}^\infty_{n=-r+1}\) is defined by using a recurrence formula involving \(r+1\) terms as follows: \[ y_A(n)=\alpha_n\;(n=-r+1,-r+2,\dots,0); \] \[ y_A(n)=\sum^r_{i=1} a_{i-1} y_A(n-i)\;(n=1,2,3,\dots). \] When \(a_i=1\) for all \(i\) and \(A=(0,0, \dots,0,1)\), we get the \(r\)-generalized Fibonacci numbers. The purpose of the paper is to generalize the weighted \(r\)-generalized Fibonacci sequence with \(1\leq r<\infty\). This sequence is called \(\infty\)-generalized Fibonacci sequence. Some properties of this sequence are studied.
