%F From _Peter Bala_, Mar 18 2015

%F The Lucas polynomials L(n,x) satisfy the recurrence L(n+1,x) = x*L(n,x) + L(n-1,x) with L(0,x) = 2 and L(1,x) = x.

%F O.g.f.: Sum_{n >= 0} L(n,x)*t^n = (2 - x*t)/(1 - t^2 - x*t) = 2 + x*t + (x^2 + 2)*t^2 + (3*x + x^3)*t^3 + ....

%F L(n,x) = trace( [ x, 1; 1, 0 ]^n ).

%F exp( Sum_{n >= 1} L(n,x)*t^n/n ) = Sum_{n >= 0} F(n+1,x)*t^n, where F(n,x) denotes the n-th Fibonacci polynomial. (see Appendix A3 in Johnson).

%F exp( Sum_{n >= 1} L(n,x)*L(2*n,x)*t^n/n ) = 1/( F(1,x)*F(2*x)*F(3,x) ) * Sum_{n >= 0} F(n+1,x)*F(n+2,x)*F(n+3,x)*t^n.

%F exp( Sum_{n >= 1} L(3*n,x)/L(n,x)*t^n/n ) = Sum_{n >= 0} L(2*n + 1,x)*t^n.

%F L(n,1) = Lucas(n) = A000032(n); L(n,4) = Lucas(3*n) = A014448(n); L(n,11) = Lucas(5*n) = A001946(n); L(n,29) = Lucas(7*n) = A087281(n); L(n,76) = Lucas(9*n) = A087287(n); L(n,199) = Lucas(11*n) = A089772(n). The general result is L(n,Lucas(2*k + 1)) = Lucas((2*k + 1)*n). (End)

%F From _Jeremy Dover_, Jun 10 2016: (Start)

%F Read as a triangle T(n,k), n >= 0, n >= k >= 0, T(n,k) = (Binomial((n+k)/2,k) + Binomial((n+k-2)/2,k))*(1+(-1)^(n-k))/2.

%F T(n,k) = A046854(n-1,k-1) + A046854(n-1,k) + A046854(n-2,k) for even n+k with n+k > 0, assuming A046854(n,k) = 0 for n < 0, k < 0, k > n.

%F T(n,k) is the number of binary strings of length n with exactly k pairs of consecutive 0's and no pair of consecutive 1's, where the first and last bits are considered consecutive. (End)

%F From _Peter Bala_, Sep 03 2022: (Start)

%F L(n,x) = 2*(i)^n*T(n,-i*x/2), where i = sqrt(-1) and T(n,x) is the n-th Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind.

%F d/dx(L(n,x)) = n*F(n,x), where F(n,x) denotes the n-th Fibonacci polynomial.

%F Let P_n(x,y) = (L(n,x) - L(n,y))/(x - y). Then {P_n(x,y): n >= 1} is a fourth-order linear divisibility sequence of polynomials in the ring Z[x,y]: if m divides n in Z then P_m(x,y) divides P_n(x,y) in Z[x,y].

%F P_n(1,1) = A045925(n); P_n(1,4) = A273622; P_n(2,2) = A093967(n).

%F L(2*n,x)^2 - L(2*n-1,x)*L(2*n+1,x) = x^2 + 4 for n >= 1.

%F Sum_{n >= 1} L(2*n,x)/( L(2*n-1,x) * L(2*n+1,x) ) = 1/x^2 and

%F Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)/( L(2*n,x) + x^2/L(2*n,x) ) = 1/(x^2 + 4), both valid for all nonzero real x. (End)

%F From _Peter Bala_, Nov 18 2022: (Start)

%F L(n,x) = Sum_{k = 0..floor(n/2)} (n/(n-k))*binomial(n-k,k)*x^(n-2*k) for n >= 1.

%F For odd m, L(n, L(m,x)) = L(n*m, x).

%F For integral x, the sequence {u(n)} := {L(n,x)} satisfies the Gauss congruences: u(m*p^r) == u(m*p^(r-1)) (mod p^r) for all positive integers m and r and all primes p.

%F Let p be an odd prime and let 0 <= k <= p - 1. Let alpha_k = the p-adic limit_{n -> oo} L(p^n,k). Then alpha_k is a well-defined p-adic-integer and the polynomial L(p,x) - x of degree p factorizes as L(p,x) - x = Product_{k = 0..p-1} (x - alpha_k). For example, L(5,x) - x = x^5 + 5*x^3 + 4*x = x*(x - A269591)*(x - A210850)*(x - A210851)*(x - A269592) in the ring of 5-adic integers. (End)

%F The formula for L(n,x) given in the first line of the preceding section, with L(0, x) = 2, is rewritten L(n, x) = Sum_{k = 0..floor(n/2)} A034807(n, k)*x^(n - 2*k). See the formula by Alexander Elkins in A034807. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Feb 10 2023
