On some new families of k-Mersenne and generalized k-Gaussian Mersenne numbers and their polynomials

Abstract

In this paper, we define new generalized k-Mersenne numbers and give a formula of generalized Mersenne polynomials and further we study their properties. Moreover, we define Gaussian Mersenne numbers and obtain some identities like Binet Formula, Cassini's identity, D'Ocagne's Identity, and generating functions. The generalized Gaussian Mersenne numbers are described and the relation with classical Mersenne numbers are explained. We also introduce a generalization of Gaussian Mersenne polynomials and establish some properties of these polynomials.
