Shattuck Mathematics Department University of Tennessee Knoxville TN 37996-1300 shattuck@math.utk.edu Carl G. Wagner Mathematics Department University of Tennessee Knoxville TN 37996-1300 wagner@math.utk.edu Submitted Oct 12 2004 Accepted Jan 21 2005 Published Jun 14 2005 MR Subject Classifications 11B39 05A15 Abstract We study special values of Carlitz s -Fibonacci and q-Lucas polynomials Fn q t and Ln q t . Brief algebraic and detailed combinatorial treatments are presented the latter based on the fact that these polynomials are bivariate generating functions for a pair of statistics defined respectively on linear and circular domino arrangements. 1 Introduction In what follows N and P denote respectively the nonnegative and the positive integers. If q is an indeterminate then nq 1 q qn 1 if n 2 P 0 q 1 nq 1q2q nq if n 2 P and _ if0 6 k 6 n o.n k q .n-k q I1.1 0 if k 0 or 0 6 n k. A useful variation of 1.1 is the well known formula 10 p.29 Cn X qOdo id1 - fcdfc Xp k n - k t qt 1.2 q do di dk n k t 0 díÉN where p k n k t denotes the number of partitions of the integer t with at most n k parts each no larger than k.
