Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the generalized Mersenne sequence and we deal with, in detail, two special cases, namely, Mersenne and Mersenne-Lucas sequences. We present Binet's formulas, generating functions, Simson formulas, and the summation formulas for these sequences. Moreover, we give some identities and matrices related with these sequences.
