Terms of the sequence un(1) are referred to simply as Leonardo numbers. In this paper, we find expressions for the determinants of several Toeplitz–Hessenberg matrices having generalized Leonardo number entries. These results are obtained as special cases of more general formulas for the generating function of the corresponding sequence of determinants. Special attention is paid to the cases 1 ≤ k ≤ 7, where several connections are made to entries in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences. By Trudi’s formula, one obtains equivalent multi-sum identities involving sums of products of generalized Leonardo numbers. Finally, in the case k = 1, we also provide combinatorial proofs of the determinant formulas, where we make extensive use of sign-changing involutions on the related structures.","PeriodicalId":52359,"journal":{"name":"Annales Mathematicae Silesianae","volume":"5 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139439412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
