Abstract

In this article, we are concerned with connections between generalized Fibonacci and Tribonacci sequences. The identities we derive are of convolution type. As particular examples, we state several identities between Fibonacci and Tribonacci numbers, Fibonacci and Tribonacci–Lucas numbers, Lucas and Tribonacci numbers and Lucas and Tribonacci–Lucas numbers, respectively. Our results provide extensions of some recently obtained identities.
