Abstract
The Lucas formula representing integer powers of the Golden ratio in terms of Fibonacci numbers is derived starting from a general result on matrix powers. The same technique is applied to the Tribonacci sequence, and the extension to higher-order Fibonacci sequences is also considered. It is shown that, by using classical results on matrix theory, the problem can be treated in a general and uniform method.
