Fibonacci And Lucas Numbers

The Fibonacci and Lucas polynomials Fn(z) and Ln(z) are denned. These reduce to the familiar Fibonacci and Lucas numbers when z = 1. The polynomials are shown to satisfy a second order linear difference equation. Generating functions are derived, and also various simple identities, and relations with hypergeometric functions, Gegenbauer and Chebyshev polynomials.
