On a two-parameter generalization of Jacobsthal numbers and its graph interpretation

Abstract

In this paper we introduce a two-parameter generalization of the classical Jacobsthal numbers ((s, p)-Jacobsthal numbers). We present some properties of the presented sequence, among others Binet’s formula, Cassini’s identity, the generating function. Moreover, we give a graph interpretation of (s, p)-Jacobsthal numbers, related to independence in graphs.
