DEFINITIONS

Recently, Djordjcvid [1,2] considered four interesting classes of polynomials: the generalized Jacobsthal polynomials Jn,m(x), the generalized Jacobsthal-Lucas polynomials jn,m(x), and their associated polynomials F~,.~(z) and fi~,m(x). These polynomials are defined by the following recurrence relations (cf., [1-3]):

&,m (X) = ,~n 1,m (x) -~ 2xol n . . . . .

(x)

(n _-->.~; ~ , ~ ~ N; J0,~ (x) = 0, J,~,,~ (x) = 1, when n = 1 , . . . , r n -

Particular cases of these numbers are the so-called Jacobsthal numbers Yn and the daeobsthalLucas numbers Jn, which were investigated earlier by Horadam [41. (See also a systematic investigation by Raina and Srivastava [5], dealing with an interesting class of numbers associated with the familiar Lucas numbers.) Motivated essentially by the recent works by Filipponi [6], Pint6r and Srivastava [71, and Chu and Vicenti [8], we aim here at introducing (and investigating the generating functions of) the analogously incomplete version of each of these four classes of numbers.
