Abstract

The Mersenne sequence, named in honor of the French mathematician Marin Mersenne, is a second-order recursive progression represented by a one-dimensional model, and its numbers can also be described in the form Mn=2n-1. This research aims to explore and investigate the recurring relationships in two-dimensional (M(n,m)), three-dimensional (M(n,m,p)), and n-dimensional (M(n1, n2, n3, ... ,nt)) spaces based on the one-dimensional model Mn+1 = 3Mn - 2Mn-1, where n is a non-negative integer, and the initial values are set as M0 = 0 and M1 = 1. The evolution of the sequence is examined along with its process of complexification. Throughout this analysis, mathematical properties of these number relations are identified, emphasizing the dimensional expansion of the sequence and the inclusion of imaginary units i, j, ... , µn, culminating in the generalization of n-dimensional relationships.
