Abstract

This paper presents new matrix identities involving powers and products of structured matrices whose entries are derived from real-valued sequences. These identities reveal deep algebraic relationships among matrix powers and products, leading to closed-form expressions for classical number-theoretic sequences. Applications to the Fibonacci and Lucas sequences are discussed, and a generalization involving power-sum matrices is introduced. The results highlight the effectiveness of matrix-based techniques in deriving elegant and compact representations of linear recurrence sequences.
