A note on congruence properties of the generalized bi-periodic Horadam sequence

Abstract

In this paper, we consider a generalization of Horadam sequence $\left\{w_{n}\right\} $ which is defined by the recurrence $w_{n}=aw_{n-1}+cw_{n-2},$ if $n$ is even, $w_{n}=bw_{n-1}+cw_{n-2},$ if $n$ is odd with arbitrary initial conditions $w_{0},w_{1}$ and nonzero real numbers $a,b,$ and $c.$ We investigate some congruence properties of the generalized Horadam sequence $\{ w_{n}\}$.
