Lucas sequence - Open Access .click

The Fibonacci Quarterly, 2015
Consider the Lucas sequence u(a, b) = (un(a, b)) and the companion Lucas sequence v(a, b) = (vn(a, b)) which both satisfy the second order recursion relation wn+2 = awn+1 − bwn with initial terms u0 = 0, u1 = 1, and v0 = 2, v1 = a, respectively. We give both necessary and sufficient tests and also necessary tests for the primality of |un| and |vn|. For

Palindromes in Lucas Sequences

Monatshefte f�r Mathematik, 2003
Say that \(\{w_n\}\) is a Lucas sequence if \(w_{n+2}= rw_{n+1}+sw_n\) where \(s\neq 0\) and \(r^2+4s\neq 0\). An integer is called a palindrome to base \(b\) if the base \(b\) representation of the integer is left unchanged when the digits are reversed. Let \(P(x)\) denote the number of integers \(n\leq x\) such that \(w_n\) is a base \(b\) palindrome.
