Abstract
We study some fundamental properties of generalized Fibonacci polynomials, by using the properties and characteristics of classical Fibonacci polynomials as a motivation. We derive the generating function and an explicit representation of these polynomials. A trace relation for a related r×r matrix Q r is derived. We then study the location and distribution of the zeros of the polynomials by illustrating our numerical results and by means of the so-called Newton sum rules.
