Chen, Alex; Chen, Hongwei – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2008
Based on the generating functions, for any positive integers "n" and "k", identities are established and the explicit formula for a[subscript i](k) in terms of Fibonomial coefficients are presented. The corresponding results are extended to some other famous sequences including Lucas and Pell sequences.
