On linear difference equations over rings and modules.
We study generalized commutative Jacobsthal quaternions and generalized commutative Jacobsthal-Lucas quaternions. We present some properties of these quaternions and the relations between the generalized commutative Jacobsthal quaternions and generalized commutative Jacobsthal-Lucas quaternions.
Let P and Q be nonzero integers. The generalized Fibonacci and Lucas sequences are defined respectively as follows: U₀ = 0, U₁ = 1, V₀ = 2, V₁ = P and , for n ≥ 1. In this paper, when w ∈ 1,2,3,6, for all odd relatively prime values of P and Q such that P ≥ 1 and P² + 4Q > 0, we determine all n and m satisfying the equation Uₙ = wUₘx². In particular, when k|P and k > 1, we solve the equations Uₙ = kx² and Uₙ = 2kx². As a result, we determine all n such that Uₙ = 6x².
In 2000, Florian Luca proved that F₁₀ = 55 and L₅ = 11 are the largest numbers with only one distinct digit in the Fibonacci and Lucas sequences, respectively. In this paper, we find terms of a linear recurrence sequence with only one block of digits in its expansion in base g ≥ 2. As an application, we generalize Luca's result by finding the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers with only one distinct block of digits of length up to 10 in its decimal expansion.
We prove that if a,b,c,d,e,m are integers, m > 0 and (m,ac) = 1, then there exist infinitely many positive integers n such that m|(an+b)cⁿ - deⁿ. Hence we derive a similar conclusion for ternary integral recurrences.
