On the three parameter family of the generalized k-Horadam sequences
摘要
In this article, we introduce a three-parameter family of k-Horadam sequences with arbitrary initial values and real-valued coefficient functions, extending the classical Horadam and Fibonacci sequences to third-order recurrence relations. We present several algebraic properties, including a Binet-type formula, partial sum identities, and closed-form ordinary and exponential generating functions. Moreover, we derive Catalan, d’Ocagne, and Vajda-type identities for this family of sequences. We also provide illustrative examples involving generalized Tribonacci, Perrin/Padovan, and third-order Jacobsthal sequences. The proposed results unify and generalize several known identities and properties from the literature.
