SOME NEW IDENTITIES CONCERNING THE HORADAM SEQUENCE AND ITS COMPANION SEQUENCE

Let a, b, P, and Q be real numbers with $PQ{\neq}0$ and $(a,b){\neq}(0,0)$. The Horadam sequence $\{W_n\}$ is defined by $W_0=a$, $W_1=b$ and $W_n=PW_{n-1}+QW_{n-2}$ for $n{\geq}2$. Let the sequence $\{X_n\}$ be defined by $X_n=W_{n+1}+QW_{n-1}$. In this study, we obtain some new identities between the Horadam sequence $\{W_n\}$ and the sequence $\{X_n\}$. By the help of these identities, we show that Diophantine equations such as $$x^2-Pxy-y^2={\pm}(b^2-Pab-a^2)(P^2+4),\\x^2-Pxy+y^2=-(b^2-Pab+a^2)(P^2-4),\\x^2-(P^2+4)y^2={\pm}4(b^2-Pab-a^2),$$ and $$x^2-(P^2-4)y^2=4(b^2-Pab+a^2)$$ have infinitely many integer solutions x and y, where a, b, and P are integers. Lastly, we make an application of the sequences $\{W_n\}$ and $\{X_n\}$ to trigonometric functions and get some new angle addition formulas such as $${\sin}\;r{\theta}\;{\sin}(m+n+r){\theta}={\sin}(m+r){\theta}\;{\sin}(n+r){\theta}-{\sin}\;m{\theta}\;{\sin}\;n{\theta},\\{\cos}\;r{\theta}\;{\cos}(m+n+r){\theta}={\cos}(m+r){\theta}\;{\cos}(n+r){\theta}-{\sin}\;m{\theta}\;{\sin}\;n{\theta},$$ and $${\cos}\;r{\theta}\;{\sin}(m+n){\theta}={\cos}(n+r){\theta}\;{\sin}\;m{\theta}+{\cos}(m-r){\theta}\;{\sin}\;n{\theta}$$.
