Thanks for this! Lucas was much concerned with the theory of recurring sequences, and is responsible for the theory, modulo getting it cleaned up by Lehmer, so it's likely he knew most of what I wrote. When you write `no mention there', are you referring to Amer J Math 1878 or to Knuth? R.
Oh, sorry, should have been clearer. Knuth; I don't have Lucas's paper. -- g
