Generalized q-Morgan Voyce Polynomials

Abstract

This study introduces and investigates generalized q-Morgan-Voyce polynomials and their specific cases, including the first and second kinds of q-Morgan-Voyce polynomials, q-Horadam-Morgan-Voyce polynomials, and Fibonacci-type q-Morgan-Voyce polynomials. The generalized q-Morgan-Voyce polynomials are defined by the recurrence relation featuring the specific q-power q^{n-2} and a negative sign, formulated as M_{n}(x,q) = (x+1+q)M_{n-1}(x,q) - q^{n-2}M_{n-2}(x,q) for n >= 2. The generating functions and explicit expressions for these polynomials are established by utilizing the Fibonacci operator and the binomial theorem. Furthermore, the study extends these polynomials to negative indices and derives the corresponding explicit formulas. Summation formulas and determinantal presentations of the generalized polynomials and their special cases are also comprehensively provided. Finally, the q-Cassini's formula for the generalized q-Morgan-Voyce polynomials is established through the definition of specific square matrices and their subsequent recurrence relations.
