Abstract: - In this study, firstly the -Chebsyhevsequence is defined, and some terms of this sequence are
given. Then, the relations between the terms of the -Chebsyhev sequence are presented and the generating
function of this sequence is obtained. In addition, the Catalan transformation of the sequence is given and the
generating function of the Catalan -Chebsyhev sequence is obtained. Finally, the Hankel transform is applied
to the Catalan -Chebsyhev transform.

1 Introduction
Many studies have been done on the Chebsyhev,
Fibonacci, and Lucas sequence (see for details, [1],
[2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12],
[13]). In [14], Chebsyhev polynomials of the first
and second kind are defined as follows,
respectively,

,
 , with  
.
In [15], the relationship between Chebsyhev
polynomials and matrices was examined. In [16],
the authors defined the -Fibonacci sequence and
gave the properties related to the -Fiboonacci
sequence. Then the -Pell, -Jacobsthal, -Pell-
Lucas, Modified -Pell and -Jacobsthal-Lucas
numbers were defined in [17], [18], [19],
respectively,

In addition, in [20], [21], -Fibonacci, Pell
numbers, Pell-Lucas numbers, Jacobsthal numbers,
and Jacobsthal-Lucas numbers sequences which are
a new generalization of the Fibonacci sequence
were defined, and their properties were found. In
[22], [23], [24], Hankel and Catalan's
transformations were defined and some of their
properties were brought to the literature.
In Chapter 2, we define the -Chebsyhev sequence,
then give the characteristic equation, the Binet
formula, and some properties of the sequence. We
also show the relationship between the positive and
negative terms of the sequence, get a relationship
between three consecutive terms, and examine the
relationship between the terms in the limit infinite
case. Finally in this chapter, we give the Cassini and
the Honsberger identity for this sequence.
In Chapter 3, the Catalan transformation of the -
Chebsyhev sequence is defined, and some properties

Chebsyhev sequence is calculated.

sequence, the roots of the characteristic equation,
and the Binet formula.

4 Conclusions
In this paper, we first defined the k- Chebsyhev. We
then gave the main features of this sequence. We
also examined the relationships between the terms
of this sequence. Finally, we introduced the Catalan
and Hankel transformation of the sequence. This
work can be further extended to Horadam numbers
and Mersenne numbers.
