ALTERED NUMBERS OF LUCAS NUMBER SQUARED
ALTERED NUMBERS OF LUCAS NUMBER SQUARED
We investigate two types altered Lucas numbers denoted and defined by adding or subtracting a value from the square of the Lucas numbers. We achieve these numbers form as the consecutive products of the Fibonacci numbers. Therefore, consecutive sum-subtraction relations of altered Lucas numbers and their Binet-like formulas are given by using some properties of the Fibonacci numbers. Also, we explore the gcd sequences of r–successive terms of altered Lucas numbers denoted and , , according to the greatest common divisor (gcd) properties of consecutive terms of the Fibonacci numbers. We show that these sequences are periodic or Fibonacci sequences.
