The greatest common divisor of two recursive functions
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 7 (2004) no. 1
Let g, h be solutions of a linear recurrence relation of length 2. We show that under some mild assumptions the greatest common divisor of $g(n)$ and $h(n)$ is periodic as a function of $n$ and compute its mean value.
