On the self-convolution of generalized Fibonacci numbers

We focus on a family of equalities pioneered by Zhang and generalized by Zao and Wang and hence by Mansour which involves self convolution of generalized Fibonacci numbers. We show that all these formulas are nicely stated in only one equation involving a bivariate ordinary generating function and we give also a formula for the coefficients appearing in that context. As a consequence, we give the general forms for the equalities of Zhang, Zao-Wang and Mansour

Fibonacci–Lucas–Pell–Jacobsthal relations

In this paper, we prove several identities involving linear combinations of convolutions of the generalized Fibonacci and Lucas sequences. Our results apply more generally to broader classes of second-order linearly recurrent sequences with constant coefficients. As a consequence, we obtain as special cases many identities relating exactly four sequences amongst the Fibonacci, Lucas, Pell, Pell–Lucas, Jacobsthal, and Jacobsthal–Lucas number sequences. We make use of algebraic arguments to establish our results, frequently employing the Binet-like formulas and generating functions of the corresponding sequences. Finally, our identities above may be extended so that they include only terms whose subscripts belong to a given arithmetic progression of the non-negative integers
