Some identities and weighted summation formulas for pentagonal numbers

Abstract

In this study, we explored pentagonal numbers, a topic examined by Euler and discussed by numerous renowned mathematicians. This sequence of numbers, derived from pentagonal shapes, has also been widely analyzed in relation to triangular numbers. After stating the general information, the recurrence relation, and the Binet formula for pentagonal numbers, we present our results. We derive several identities for the sequence, along with weighted, reversed weighted, generalized weighted, and reversed generalized weighted summation formulas.
