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.

In this paper we introduce generalized Mersenne numbers. We shall present some of their interpretations and matrix generators which are very useful for determining identities.

Eccentric distance sum index for some classes of connected graphs

In this paper we show some properties of the eccentric distance sum index which is defined as follows ξd(G)=∑v∈V(G)D(v)ε(v). This index is widely used by chemists and biologists in their researches. We present a lower bo...
