Dedekind sums and power residue symbols
This is a survey of recent results concerning (integer) matrices whose leading principal minors are well-known sequences such as Fibonacci, Lucas, Jacobsthal and Pell (sub)sequences. There are different ways for constructing such matrices. Some of these matrices are constructed by homogeneous or nonhomogeneous recurrence relations, and others are constructed by convolution of two sequences. In this article, we will illustrate the idea of these methods by constructing some integer matrices of this...
Let ℱn = circ (︀F*1 , F*2, . . . , F*n︀ be the n×n circulant matrix associated with complex Fibonacci numbers F*1, F*2, . . . , F*n. In the present paper we calculate the determinant of ℱn in terms of complex Fibonacci numbers. Furthermore, we show that ℱn is invertible and obtain the entries of the inverse of ℱn in terms of complex Fibonacci numbers.
Let be the -th Fibonacci number. Put . We prove that the following inequalities hold for any real :1) ,2) ,3) .These results are the best possible.
