It is shown that period, rank and order of the (a,b)-Fibonacci sequence remain invariant by extension to the generalized (a,b,c,d)-Lucas sequence provided a specific determinant is relatively prime to the modulus. Given an odd prime modulus p and the p-1 exceptional (a,b)-Lucas sequences, for which p divides the discriminant of these sequences, we determine the corresponding periods and relate
... [Show full abstract] them to those of the (a,b)-Fibonacci sequence. The results can be viewed as extended versions of classical results by Wall in case (a,b)=(1,1). .
