On Generalized Fibonacci Quaternions and Fibonacci-Narayana Quaternions

Fibonacci Sequences of Quaternions

In this paper Fibonacci sequences of quaternions are introduced, generalizing Fibonacci sequences over commutative rings, and properties of such sequences are investigated. In particular we are concerned with two kinds of Fibonacci sequences of generalized quaternions over finite fields Fp, with p an odd prime, and their periods.

Generalized Quaternions

The quaternion group Q8 is one of the two non-abelian groups of size 8 (up to isomorphism). The other one, D4, can be constructed as a semi-direct product: D4 ∼= Aff(Z/(4)) ∼= Z/(4) o (Z/(4))× ∼= Z/(4) o Z/(2), where the elements of Z/(2) act on Z/(4) as the identity and negation. While Q8 is not a semi-direct product, it can be constructed as the quotient group of a semi-direct product. We wil...

Generalized quaternions and spacetime symmetriesa)

The construction of a class of associative composition algebras qn on R 4 generalizing the wellknown quaternions Q provides an explicit representation of the universal enveloping algebra of the real three-dimensional Lie algebras having tracefree adjoint representations (class A Bianchi type Lie algebras). The identity components of the four-dimensional Lie groups GL(qn,l) Cqn (general linear g...

On Periodic ∞-generalized Fibonacci Sequences

The notion of an∞-generalized Fibonacci sequence has been introduced in [6], and studied in [1], [7], [9]. This class of sequences defined by linear recurrences of infinite order is an extension of the class of ordinary (weighted) r-generalized Fibonacci sequences (r-GFS, for short) with r finite defined by linear recurrences of r order (for example, see [2], [3], [4], [5], [8] etc.) More preci...
