146 S Uygun and H Eldogan numbers Many properties of these sequences were deduced directly from elementary matrix algebra For example F Koken and D Bozkurt in [4] defined a Jacobsthal matrix of the type nxn and using this matrix derived some properties of Jacobsthal numbers Of course the most known integer sequence is made of Fibonacci numbers which are very important because of golden section H Civciv and R Turkmen, in [5,6], is defined s, t-fibonacci and s, t-lucas matrix sequences by using s, t-fibonacci and s, t-lucas sequences Particular cases of Jacobsthal and Jacobsthal Lucas numbers were investigated earlier by Horadam [1-] Ş Uygun, in [3] is defined s, t-jacobsthal and s, t-jacobsthal Lucas sequences Also K Uslu and Ş Uygun, in [7] are defined s, t-jacobsthal and s, t-jacobsthal Lucas matrix sequences by using s, t-jacobsthal and s, t-jacobsthal Lucas sequences In this study, firstly we define k-jacobsthal and k-jacobsthal Lucas sequences, then by using these sequences, we also define k-jacobsthal and k- Jacobsthal Lucas matrix sequences We derive numerous interesting properties of these sequences Then we investigate the relationship between k-jacobsthal and k-jacobsthal Lucas matrix sequences Additionally, in [1], the Jacobsthal and Jacobsthal Lucas sequences are defined recurrently by j n j n 1 + j n, j 0 0, j 1 1 c n c n 1 + c n, c 0, c 1 1 where n 1 any integer These sequences can be generalized by preserving the relation of sequence, altering the initial conditions or by altering the relation of sequence preserving the initial conditions Main Results Firstly, let us first consider the following definition of k-jacobsthal sequence which will be needed for the definition of k-jacobsthal matrix sequence Definition 1 Let be n N, k > 0 any real number Then k-jacobsthal sequence {ĵ k,n } n N is defined by the following equation: with initial conditions ĵ k,0 0, ĵ k,1 1 ĵ k,n kĵ k,n 1 + ĵ k,n, 1 First few terms of the k Jacobsthal number sequences are ĵ k,0 0, ĵ k,1 1, ĵ k,, ĵ k,3 k +, ĵ k,4 k 3 + 4k, ĵ k,5 k 4 + 6k + 4, ĵ k,6 k 5 + 8k 3 + 1k
k-jacobsthal and k-jacobsthal Lucas matrix sequences 147 If k 1 we have the classic Jacobsthal sequence {0, 1, 1, 3, 5, 11, 1, }A001045 [8] If k we have the sequence {0, 1,, 6, 16, 44, 10, }A00605 [8] Definition For n N, k > 0 any real number, then k-jacobsthal Lucas sequence {ĉ k,n } n N is defined by the following equation: ĉ k,n kĉ k,n 1 + ĉ k,n, with initial conditions ĉ 0, ĉ 1 k If Jacobsthal Lucas sequence k 1, then we have the classic Some of the interesting properties that the k-jacobsthal sequence satisfies are summarized as below: Lemma 3 For n 0 any integer, the Binet formulas for nth k Jacobsthal number and nth k Jacobsthal Lucas number are given by and ĵ k,n rn 1 r n, ĉ k,n r n 1 + r n respectively where r 1 k+ k +8 and r k k +8, are the roots of the characteristic equation x kx+ associated to the recurrence relation defined in 1 We can see easily r 1 r, r 1 + r k, k + 8 Proof For the proof of the first equality we use the principle of induction n For n 0, we have ĵ k,0 r0 1 r0 r 1 r 0 Also for n 1, we have ĵ k,n r1 1 r1 r 1 r 1 We assume that the statement is true for n m, ĵ k,m rm 1 rm r 1 r For n m+1, ĵ k,m+1 kĵ k,m + ĵ k,m 1 k rm 1 r m + rm 1 1 r m 1 r 1 r r1 k m + r1 r k m + r r 1 r r1 m kr 1 + r 1 + r m kr + r rm+1 1 r m+1
