Abstract

In the preceding chapter, we studied some fundamental identities of the Pell family. We now present some additional ones. Again, for the sake of brevity, we will prove only some of them, but will add some comments on others when needed. We will revisit some of these results in Chapter 11, when we study generating functions for the Pell family.
