Let d ≥ 2 be an integer. In 2010, the second, third, and fourth authors gave necessary and sufficient conditions for the infinite products ${\prod }_{\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{k=1}{U_{d^k}\ne -a_i}}^{\infty }(1+\left(a_i\right)/\left(U_{d^k}\right))$ (i=1,...,m) or ${\prod }_{\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{k=1}{V_{d^k}\ne -a_i}}^{\infty }(1+\left(a_i\right)\left(V_{d^k}\right)$ (i=1,...,m) to be algebraically dependent, where $a_i$ are non-zero integers and $U_n$ and $V_n$ are generalized Fibonacci numbers and Lucas numbers, respectively. The purpose of this paper is to relax the condition on the non-zero integers $a_1,...,a_m$ to non-zero real algebraic numbers, which gives new cases where the infinite products above are algebraically dependent....
