d'Ocagne's identity for the Vieta–Fibonacci polynomials #

Mathlib's Polynomial.Chebyshev.S are the rescaled Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind (Vieta–Fibonacci polynomials), indexed by ℤ, with the Cassini-type identity S_sq_add_S_sq. This file proves the two-index identity of which that is the case q = p + 1:

S p * S (q - 1) - S q * S (p - 1) = - S (p - q - 1).

Main results #

d'Ocagne's identity for the Vieta–Fibonacci polynomials S. Classical.

Mathlib's S_sq_add_S_sq is the case q = p + 1, recovered as a consistency check.
