For an integer , let be the generalized Pell sequence which starts with ( terms) and each term afterwards is given by the linear recurrence . In this paper, we find all -generalized Pell numbers with only one distinct digit (the so-called repdigits). Some interesting estimations involving generalized Pell numbers, that we believe are of independent interest, are also deduced. This paper continues a previous work that searched for repdigits in the usual Pell sequence .
The sequence of balancing numbers is defined by the recurrence relation for with initial conditions and is called the th balancing number. In this paper, we find all repdigits in the base which are sums of four balancing numbers. As a result of our theorem,...
We analyse the roots of the polynomial for . This is the characteristic polynomial of the recurrence relation for , which includes the relations of several particular sequences recently defined. In the end, a matricial representation for such a recurrence relation is provided.
