Congruences involving sums of ratios of Lucas sequences
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 17 (2014) no. 8
Given a pair $(U_{t})$ and $(V_{t})$ of Lucas sequences, we establish various congruences involving sums of ratios $\frac{V_t}{U_t}$. More precisely, let $p$ be a prime divisor of the positive integer $m$. We establish congruences, modulo powers of $p$, for the sum $\sum \frac{V_t}{U_t}$, where $t$ runs from 1 to $r(m)$, the rank of $m$, and $r(q) \nmid t$ for all prime factors $q$ of $m$.
