On fourth-order jacobsthal quaternions

Abstract

In this paper, we present for the first time a sequence of quaternions of order 4 that we will call the fourth-order Jacobsthal and the fourth-order Jacobsthal-Lucas quaternions. In particular, we are interested in the generating function, Binet formula, explicit formula and some interesting results for fourth-order Jacobsthal quaternions and fourth-order Jacobsthal-Lucas quaternions. This generalizes some previous results given by , Torunbalci Aydin and Yüce in [14] and Cerda-Morales in [2].
