This category contains results about Pell Numbers.

The Pell numbers are a sequence $\sequence {P_n}$ which is formally defined by the recurrence relation:

$P_n = \begin{cases} 0 & : n = 0 \\ 1 & : n = 1 \\ 2 P_{n - 1} + P_{n - 2} & : \text {otherwise}\end{cases}$


The sequence of Pell numbers begins:

$0, 1, 2, 5, 12, 29, 70, 169, 408, 985, \ldots$
