Copper ratio obtained by generalizing the Fibonacci sequence

Abstract

In this study, we define a new generalization of the Fibonacci sequence that gives the copper ratio, and we will call it the copper Fibonacci sequence. In addition, inspired by the copper Fibonacci definition, we also define copper Lucas sequences, and then we give the relationships between the terms of these sequences. We present some properties, such as the Binet formulas, special summation formulas, special generating functions, etc. We find the relationships between the roots of the characteristic equation of these sequences and the general terms of these sequences. What is interesting here is that the relationships obtained from that between the roots of the characteristic equation of these new sequences and the terms of the sequences are satisfied in both roots. In addition, we examine the relationships between these sequences with the classic Fibonacci and Lucas sequences. Moreover, we calculate some identities of these sequences, such as Cassini and Catalan. Then Catalan transformation is applied to these sequences, and their terms are found. Furthermore, we apply Hankel transform to the Catalan transform of these sequences. Besides, we associate the terms of the Hankel transformation of the Catalan copper Fibonacci sequence with the classical Fibonacci numbers and the terms of the Hankel transformation of the Catalan copper Lucas sequence with the terms of the copper Lucas sequence. We present the application of copper Fibonacci and copper Lucas sequences to hyperbolic quaternions. Finally, the terms of the copper Fibonacci and copper Lucas sequences are associated with their hyperbolic quaternion values.
