Abstract

In this note we prove that for all positive integers $n$, the sum $S_{4n+1}$ of the first $4n+1$ Pell numbers is a perfect square. As a consequence, an identity involving binomial coefficients and Pell numbers is given. Also, sums of an even and odd number of terms of odd order are evaluated and some divisibility properties are obtained.
