Abstract

In this note, we consider a generalized Fibonacci sequence $\{q_n\}$. Then give a connection between the sequence $\{q_n\}$ and the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind $U_n(x)$. With the aid of factorization of Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind $U_n(x)$, we derive the complex factorizations of the sequence $\{q_n\}$.
