Abstract
In this paper we define a matrix sequence called the Pell matrix sequence whose elements consist of Pell numbers. Using a positive parameter k, we generalize the Pell matrix sequence to a k-Pell matrix sequence and using two parameters s, t we generalize them to (s, t)-Pell matrix sequences. We give the basic properties of these matrix sequences. Then, using these properties we obtain exponential representations of the Pell matrix sequence and its generalizations in different ways.
Keywords: Pell numbers, matrix sequences, generalized sequences, exponential matrices
1. Introduction and Preliminaries
Sequences of positive integers have long been studied and many special integer sequences are known to have applications in different areas of science. Many researchers devote their attention to special sequences, such a Pell, Pell-Lucas, and Modified Pell sequences, which satisfy a second-order recurrence relation. Horadam studied various properties of Pell numbers and Pell polynomials. Ercolano found generating matrices for Pell sequences. Many mathematicians have looked at generalizations of Pell sequences one gets by adding one or two parameters to the recursion relation but not altering the initial conditions. Identities and generalting functions for the k-Pell numbers were established in [3]. The authors of [2] investigated (s,t)-Pell and (s,t)-Pell-Lucas sequences and their matrix representations. In [4], (s,t)-Pell and Pell-Lucas numbers are studied using matrix methods. In [5], the exponential representations of the Jacobsthal matrix sequences were found. In this paper we give the definitions of Pell sequence and its parametrized generalizations. Using the elements of the sequence, we establish matrix sequences for the integer sequences. We demonstrate the exponential matrices for the Pell matrix sequence and its generalizations by various methods.
As seen [1, 6], the recurrence relation with initial conditions for the Pell sequence is given as
The characteristic equation for the recurrence relation of the Pell sequence is

The sequence can be generalized using one parameter k, which is any positive integer. The k-Pell sequence

If we choose s=t=1 in this equality, we get the first equality.
Similarly, If we choose s=1, t=k, we get the second equality.
