514 Saadet Arslan and Fkr Köken where J 0 = 0, J 1 = 1, j 0 = 2 and j 1 = 1 Also, The Jacobsthal and Jacobsthal-Lucas numbers can easly be computed usng the closed-forms alke J n = 2 n 1 n /3 and j = 2 n + 1 n 1,2 And so, the J n and j n numbers can be derved by matrces snce by takng successve powers of matrces F and S 3,4; Jn+1 2J n jn 9J n F n = J n 2J n 1, S n = 1 2 There are less theory related to complex value Jacobsthal and Jacobsthal- Lucas sequences from other nteger sequences In 1 study, Horadam derved from cartesan coordnates x, y of a pont n the plane, x = 2 θ cos θπ /3 and y = 2 θ sn θπ/3 for J n, 1 x = 2 θ + cos θπ and y = 2 θ sn θπ for j n, θ R 2 The author denomnated equatons 1 and 2 as the modfed Bnet forms for J n and j n, respectvely Settng θ = n Z, x = J n n 1 and x = j n n 2 are the ordnary Bnet form for J n and j n The equatons 1 and 2 yeld the Jacobsthal and Jacobsthal-Lucas curves Thers statonary ponts le on the sutable branches of the rectangular hyperbolas y x ± k log 2 = kπ and y x ± k log 2 = kπ 3 9 Also, for J θ + j θ = 2J θ+1, a composte curve s gven to beng equvalent to the Jacobsthal curve 1 It s the object of ths artcle to reveal the correspondng complex value sequences assocated wth real ndex {J x } and {j x }, for x R va computng the square roots of the matrces F n and S n 2 Man Results Our am s not to calculate the square roots of a 2x2 matrx The certan methods have been studed for computng the square roots of arbtrary 2x2 matrces 5,6, and a matrx may be have several square roots or no square roots If a matrx generate any sequence and have several square roots, we nvestgate propertes whch new sequences generated by square roots matrces have, and the man results of the paper are gven the followng Theorem 21 Let F n/2 F n Then, F n/2 1,2 = ± Jn+2/2 2J n/2 J n/2 J n j n = 1, 2, 3, 4 denote the square roots of the matrx 2J n 2/2, F n/2 3,4 = ±1 jn+2/2 2j n/2 3 j n/2 2j n 2/2 3
Jacobsthal and Jacobsthal-Lucas numbers 515 Proof When square roots of the matrx F n are computed by the Cayley- Hamlton method 5, t s seen that the matrx F n has four square roots n the forms F n ±1 = T ± 2 F n ± det F n I, 4 det F n where I s the dentty matrx T = j n s the trace of the matrx F n and as det F n = 2 n e nπ, we have det F n = 2 n/2 e nπ/2 Thus, t s obtaned that T ± 2 det F n = 2 n/2 ± e nπ/2 We select frstly as F n = ±1 Jn+1 + 2 n/2 e nπ/2 2J n 2 n/2 + e nπ/2 J n 2J n 1 + 2 n/2 e nπ/2 Usng the modfed Bnet form n 1, we can wrte the values of elements 1,1 and 2,1 for the rght sde matrx as ± 2 n/2 e nπ/2 J n+1 + 2 n/2 e nπ/2 = ± 2 n+2/2 e n+2π/2 = ±J 2 n e nπ n+2/2, 3 and ±J n 2 n/2 e nπ/2 n = ±J n 2 n/2 e nπ/2 = ±J 2 n e nπ n/2 3J n If the elements 1,2 and 2,2 are founded n the smlar way, we get two square roots of the matrx F n F n/2 Jn+2/2 2J 1 = n/2, F n/2 Jn+2/2 2J 2 = n/2 J n/2 2J n 2/2 J n/2 2J n 2/2 When we choose the other state of the matrx equaton 4, we have F n = ± 2 n/2 + e nπ/2 Jn+1 2 n/2 e nπ/2 2J n 2 n e nπ 2J n 1 2 n/2 e nπ/2 J n If all elements are gven n the same way, then the other two square roots matrces are possessed Moreover, t s F n = F n/2 F n/2 because the square roots of the matrx F n are the matrces F n/2 = 1, 2, 3, 4 If we admt the matrces F n/2 = 1, 2, then the equatons J 2 n+2/2 + 2J 2 n/2 = J n+1, J n+2/2 J n/2 + 2J n/2 J n 2/2 = 2J n are determned by equatng of correspondng elements for equal matrces In addton, consderng the elements of the matrces for F n/2 = 3, 4 cause j 2 n+2/2 + 2j 2 n/2 = 9J n+1, j n+2/2 j n/2 + 2j n/2 j n 2/2 = 9J n
516 Saadet Arslan and Fkr Köken And also, takng the determnant of the matrces F n/2 = 1, 2, 3, 4 gve J n+2/2 J n 2/2 J 2 n/2 = 2 n 2/2 e nπ/2, j n+2/2 j n 2/2 j 2 n/2 = 9e nπ/2 2 n 2/2, whch are a general case of the Cassn-lke formula for the Jacobsthal and Jacobsthal-Lucas numbers wth specalzed ratonal subscrpts, respectvely Hence, the matrces F n/2 = 1, 2, 3, 4 n 3 are nonsngular, the nverses of the matrces F n/2 are denomnated notaton F n/2 by gven; F n/2 1,2 = ±e nπ/2 2Jn 2/2 2J n/2, F n/2 2 n/2 3,4 = e nπ/2 2jn 2/2 2j n/2 J n/2 J n+2/2 32 n/2 j n/2 j n+2/2 A lot of elementary propertes for these numbers can be found by equatng of correspondng elements for the equal matrces such as F k/2 F n+1/2 = F k+n+1/2, F n F 1/2 = F 2n+1/2 and F n/2 F n+1/2 = F 2n+1/2 for all nteger n and k For equal matrces F k/2 F n+1/2 = F k+n+1/2 1 = 1, 2 or = 3, 4, equatng of correspondng elements gves followng equaltes J k+n+1/2 = J k/2 J n+3/2 +2J k 2/2 J n+1/2 = 1 9 jk+2/2 j n+1/2 + 2j k/2 j n 1/2 Consderng the equaton F n F 1/2 F 2n+1/2 1 = 1, 2, 3, 4 derve = F 2n+1/2 1 = 1, 3 and F n/2 F n+1/2 = J 2n+1/2 = J n J 3/2 + 2J n 1 J 1/2 = 1 Jn+1 j 1/2 + 2J n j 1/2, 3 J 2n+1/2 = J n+2/2 J n+1/2 + 2J n/2 J n 1/2 = 1 jn/2 j n+3/2 + 2j n 2/2 j n+1/2 9 Computng the equaltes F k n/2 = F k/2 equaltes F n/2 = 1, 2, 3, 4, we have the J k n/2 = 2 n/2 e nπ/2 Jk/2 J n+2/2 J k+2/2 J n/2 = e nπ/2 92 n/2 jk+2/2 j n/2 j k/2 j n+2/2 The next goal s to fnd dfferent relatons between the Jacobsthal and Jacobsthal-Lucas numbers wth specalzed ratonal subscrpts by usng the square roots of the matrx S n Theorem 22 Let S n/2 = 1, 2, 3, 4 denote a square root of the matrx S n Then, S n/2 1,2 = ±1 jn/2 9J n/2 2 J n/2 j n/2, S n/2 3,4 = ±3 Jn/2 j n/2 2 j n/2 /9 J n/2
Jacobsthal and Jacobsthal-Lucas numbers 517 Proof If we apply for the Cayley-Hamlton method for computng the square roots of the matrx S n, square root matrces are obtaned n form ±1 Sn = T ± 2 S n ± det S n I 5 det S n where I s the dentty matrx T = j n s the trace of the matrx S n and snce det S n = 2 n e nπ, we have det S n = 2 n/2 e nπ/2 Therefore, t s obtaned that T ± 2 det S n = 2 n/2 ± e nπ/2 From ths pont of vew, we select as S n/2 = ±1 jn + 2 n+2/2 e nπ/22n/2 9J n 2 2 n/2 + e nπ/2 J n j n + 2 n+2/2 e nπ/2 Usng the modfed Bnet forms n 1 and 2, we wrte down the values of elements 1, 1 and 1, 2 for the rght sde matrx ± 2 n/2 e nπ/2 j n + 2 n+2/2 e nπ/2 2 2 n e nπ = ± 2n e nπ 2 n/2 + e nπ/2 = ±j n/2, 6J n 2 and ±9J n 2 n/2 e nπ/2 2 2 n e nπ = ±9J n 2 n/2 e nπ/2 = ±9J n/2 3J n When other elements are gven n the same way, we determne two square root matrces S n/2 1 = 1 jn/2 9J n/2, S n/2 2 = 1 jn/2 9J n/2 2 J n/2 j n/2 2 J n/2 j n/2 If we prefer the other crcumstance n the matrx equaton 5, then the other two matrces are procured by computng the above mentoned values of all elements for the rght sde matrx We suppose that the matrx S n/2 = 1, 2, 3, 4 s one of the square roots of the matrx S n Equatng correspondng elements of the equal matrces S n/2 S n/2 = S n gves followng denttes j 2 n/2 + 9J 2 n/2 = 2j n, J n/2 j n/2 = J n, and so takng the determnant of the matrces S n/2 = 1, 2, 3, 4 yelds j 2 n/2 9J 2 n/2 = 2 n+4/2 e nπ/2 In addton to above mentoned equaltes, dfferent equaltes for the Jacobsthal and Jacobsthal-Lucas numbers wth specalzed ratonal subscrpts can be found by equatng of correspondng elements for the equal matrces
