l-<strong>sequences</strong><br />

For integer l ≥ 2, define <strong>the</strong> sequence {a n<br />

(l) } n≥1 by<br />

a (l)<br />

n<br />

= la (l)<br />

n−1 − a(l) n−2 ,<br />

with initial conditions a (l)<br />

1<br />

= 1, a (l)<br />

2<br />

= l.<br />

{a (3)<br />

n } = 1, 3, 8, 21, 55, 144, 377, . . .<br />

{a (2)<br />
