Several Determinantal Expressions of Generalized Tribonacci Polynomials and Sequences

Abstract

In the paper, the authors present several explicit formulas for the $(p,q,r)$-Tribonacci polynomials and generalized Tribonacci sequences in terms of the Hessenberg determinants and, consequently, derive several explicit formulas for the Tribonacci numbers and polynomials, the Tribonacci--Lucas numbers, the Perrin numbers, the Padovan (Cordonnier) numbers, the Van der Laan numbers, the Narayana numbers, the third order Jacobsthal numbers, and the third order Jacobsthal--Lucas numbers in terms of special Hessenberg determinants.
