We can't use a straight copy like this. A paraphrase is OK. But there is no explanation of d, and the inequality is backwards, too. This will have to be deleted. Charles Matthews 13:07, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
There's no explanation of d in the original copy from Mathworld, either. Think it's a copyright trap? Arthur Rubin | (talk) 23:09, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thesis[edit]

The primary reference seems to be the author's thesis: The Divisibility and Modular Properties of Kth-Order Linear Recurrences Over The Ring of Integers of an Algebraic Number Field With Respect to Prime Ideals. I believe the article would be improved if that was cited, but only the meta-info and abstract are available online, so I have not personally read it.

I did add references to two other papers by Somer that go into much more detail than the Mathworld source (which is basically identical to the one sentence currently on Wikipedia) or Ribenbaum (better, but still a quick summary). DAJ NT (talk) 19:50, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
