Abstract:

Recently, Belbachir and Bencherif have expanded Fibonacci and Lucas polynomials using bases of Fibonacci- and Lucas-like polynomials. Here, we provide simplified proofs for the expansion formulae that in essence a computer can do. Furthermore, for 2 of the 5 instances, we find q-analogues.
