Abstract:
We study the determinants of matrices whose entries are powers of the
Fibonacci numbers. We then extend the results to include entries that
are powers of a second-order linear recurrence relation. These results
motivate a fundamental identity of determinants whose entries are
powers of linear polynomials. Finally, we discuss the determinants of
matrices whose entries are products of the general second-order linear
recurrence relations.
