Lethbridge Number Theory and Combinatorics Seminar

 

Date:

April 3, 2017

 

Time:

12:00-12:50pm

 

Lecturer(s):

Amir Akbary

 

Location:

University of Lethbridge

 

Topic:

Elliptic sequences

 

Description (in plain text format):

An "elliptic sequence" is a solution over an arbitrary integral domain of the recursion

 

                W(m+n) W(m-n) = W(m+1) W(m-1) W(n)^2 - W(n+1) W(n-1) W(m)^2,

 

where m and n are integers. The theory of integral elliptic sequences was developed by Morgan Ward in 1948. We describe the fundamental classification theorem of Ward for these sequences. Our emphasis will be on the so called "singular" sequences and their relation to the classical Lucas sequences.
