Abstract
In the present work, we define harmonic complex balancing numbers by considering well-known balancing numbers and inspiring harmonic numbers. Mainly, we investigate some of their basic characteristic properties such as the Binet formula and Cassini identity, etc. In addition, one type of symmetric matrix family whose entries are harmonic complex balancing numbers is constructed. Additionally, some linear algebraic properties are obtained. Furthermore, some inequalities are stated by exploiting the well-known inequalities between various matrix norms. Finally, we illustrate the results with some numerical examples.

1. Introduction
In mathematics, the well-known second-order homogeneous linear recurrence is defined by A. F. Horadam, as below:
with initial conditions
where a and b are arbitrary integers [1]. In the literature, the Lucas sequences and are certain constant-recursive integer sequences that satisfy Horadam’s recurrence relation given above. In other words, any sequence satisfying this recurrence relation can be represented as a linear combination of the Lucas sequences and . The Fibonacci numbers, Mersenne, Pell, Lucas, Jacobsthal, and balancing numbers are considered the famous examples of Lucas sequences. These sequences satisfy many common properties and identities, for example Binet formulas, Catalan identities, and matrix representation. Recently, these sequences were investigated, generalized, or extended; for example, see [2,3,4,5]. When and , the sequence is called the sequence of balancing numbers (please see [6]) and denoted by , that is
Balancing numbers have several nice properties; for example, is a perfect square for any integer n. Moreover, from [6], the characteristic equation of balancing numbers is This equation has two real roots: The generating function of the balancing sequence is
In the literature, there are many interesting papers that have examined balancing numbers and their spectacular properties. For example, G. K. Panda [7] established many important identities concerning balancing numbers and their related sequences. A. Berczes et al. [8] and P. Olajos [9] surveyed many interesting properties of generalized balancing numbers. Recently, G. K. Panda et al. [10] introduced gap balancing numbers and established many properties of these numbers. Some curious congruence properties of balancing numbers were also studied in [11]. In [12,13], Ray established new product formulae to generate balancing numbers. In [14], the authors associated the balancing numbers with graphs. In [15], the authors study on Gaussian balancing and Gaussian cobalancing quaternions.
The nth harmonic number, denoted by , is defined by
where . In [16], the nth harmonic number can also be expressed by Stirling numbers as follows:
where is the Stirling numbers of the second kind.
From [17,18,19], we have some interesting properties of harmonic numbers:
In [20], the difference operator of any function is defined as
and the anti-difference operator ∑ has the following properties:
where . In [20], the authors used a property of the finite difference operator to show the validity of the identity (5). In [21,22], the authors investigated harmonic complex Fibonacci sequences and harmonic hybrid Fibonacci numbers.
In [23], the authors considered the following square matrix M:
where K is an nonsingular matrix, b is an matrix, and c is a real number used to obtain the inverse of M, as follows:
where .
It is obvious that the norm of a matrix is a non-negative real number. There are several different methods of defining a matrix norm, but they all share the same definite characteristics. Let be an matrix; then, let us remember some well-known matrix norm types. For example, the maximum column length norm, denoted by , and the maximum row length norm, denoted by , are defined as follows:
The norm of A is defined by
For , this norm is called Frobenius or Euclidean norm and denoted by .
The spectral norm of A is defined by
where is the eigenvalue of matrix ; here, is a conjugate transpose of matrix A.
Let and be real matrices; then, the Hadamard product of these matrices (please see [24]) is defined as
For matrices and , the Hadamard product is defined by , and if , the Hadamard product of B and C satisfies the following:
There is a relation between the Frobenius and spectral norms, that is
In [25], the authors defined a particular matrix and its Hadamard exponential matrix , where and is the harmonic number. Then, they investigated the determinants and inverses of these matrices. Moreover, they presented the Euclidean norm and two upper bounds and lower bounds for the spectral norm of these matrices. In [26], the authors defined harmonic Pell numbers. In addition, they constructed one type of symmetric matrix family whose elements are harmonic Pell numbers and its Hadamard exponential matrix. They investigated some linear algebraic properties and obtained inequalities by using matrix norms. Furthermore, some summation identities for harmonic Pell numbers were obtained.
Recently, a new approach to the significant extension of famous number sequences into the complex plane has arisen. For example, in [27], the authors defined complex Fibonacci sequence as follows:
Additionally, in [28], complex Lucas numbers were defined by the following recurrence relation . Note that researchers can find more papers about different kinds of complex number sequences in the literature.
In this paper, we give a new approach to generalizing balancing numbers. In this content, we initially give complex balancing sequences, denoted by , and then define harmonic complex balancing sequences, denoted by . Then, we obtain some properties such as the Binet formula, Cassini identity, etc. Furthermore, taking into account one type of symmetric matrix family, we obtain some linear algebraic properties and obtain interesting inequalities.
