Holonomic Sequences Arising from Laplace Transforms of Generalized Second Order Sequences
We study the FiboLaplace and LucasLaplace sequences obtained by applying the Laplace transform to generalized Fibonacci-type and Lucas-type polynomials. We relate these families and show that, for each fixed transform parameter, the FiboLaplace sequence is holonomic. We give a combinatorial interpretation in terms of weighted colored tilings, leading to recurrence relations, identities, and a triangular refinement by the number of dominoes. We also derive two continued-fraction expansions and obtain a second combinatorial interpretation in terms of generalized Motzkin paths. These results extend earlier work of Givens and Moll.
