Padovan and Perrin Numbers as Sums of Two Jacobsthal Numbers

Abstract: Let

l e f t l b r a c e P_{k} i g h t b r a c e_{k g e q 0}

be the Padovan sequence defined by

P_{k} = P_{k - 2} + P_{k - 3}

with initial values are

P_{0} = P_{1} = P_{2} = 1

. Let

l e f t l b r a c e R_{k} i g h t b r a c e_{k g e q 0}

be the Perrin sequence defined by

R_{k} = R_{k - 2} + R_{k - 3}

with initial values are

R_{0} = 3

,

R_{1} = 0

,

R_{2} = 2

. And let

l e f t l b r a c e J_{n} i g h t b r a c e_{n g e q 0}

be the Jacobsthal sequence defined by

J_{n} = 2 J_{n - 1} + J_{n - 2}

with initials

J_{0} = 0

,

J_{1} = 1

. In this paper we determine all Padovan and Perrin numbers which are sum of two Jacobsthal number.
