Some Convolution Formulae Related to the Second-Order Linear Recurrence Sequence

Abstract

The main aim of this paper is that for any second-order linear recurrence sequence, the generating function of which is f ( t ) = 1 1 + a t + b t 2 , we can give the exact coefficient expression of the power series expansion of f x ( t ) for x ∈ R with elementary methods and symmetry properties. On the other hand, if we take some special values for a and b, not only can we obtain the convolution formula of some important polynomials, but also we can establish the relationship between polynomials and themselves. For example, we can find relationship between the Chebyshev polynomials and Legendre polynomials.
