Generalization of Gaussian third-order Jacobsthal numbers and their new families

Abstract: In this study, we introduce the generalized Gaussian third-order Jacobsthal numbers with arbitrary initial values and discuss two particular cases, namely, Gaussian third-order Jacobsthal and Gaussian modified third-order Jacobsthal numbers. In this paper we discuss several of its algebraic properties such as Binet's formula, partial sum, generating function, negative subscript elements, d'Ocagne's and Cassini's identities. Furthermore, we study and introduce a new generalization of this sequence called $k$-generalized Gaussian third-order Jacobsthal numbers. We present several of its properties and its connection with the generalized third-order Jacobsthal numbers.
