Abstract

In this paper, we prove several identities each relating a sum of products of three terms coming from different members of the Fibonacci family of sequences with a comparable sum whose terms come from three other sequences. These identities are obtained as special cases of formulas relating two linear combinations of products of three generalized Fibonacci or Lucas sequences. The latter formulas are in turn obtained from a more general generating function result for the product of three terms coming from second-order linearly recurrent sequences with arbitrary initial values. We employ algebraic arguments to establish our results, making use of the Binet-like formulas of the underlying sequences. Among the sequences for which the aforementioned identities are found include the Fibonacci, Pell, Jacobsthal and Mersenne numbers, along with their associated Lucas companion sequences.
