Abstract

In  this  paper,  we  introduce  the  generalized  p-Mersenne  sequence  and  deal with, in detail, two special cases, namely, p-Mersenne and p-Mersenne-Lucas-sequences. We  present  Binet’s  formulas,   generating  functions,   Simson formulas,  and  the  summation  formulas  for  these  sequences.   Moreover, we give some identities and matrices related with these sequences.
