Abstract:


In this paper, we study few properties of the second-order linear homogeneous recurrent sequence (un)n with constant coefficients in a complete valued field extension of the field of p-adic numbers. More precisely, we give the necessary and sufficient condition satisfied by (un)n to be the moment sequence of an appropriate p-adic measure. Furthermore, we establish identities and congruences for Fibonacci numbers, and for some p-adic values of Chebyshev polynomials. Some ones are well known and others, for instance Kummer like congruences, seem to be new.
