Abstract
The Fibonacci polynomials are a polynomial sequence that can be considered as a generalization of the Fibonacci numbers. Fibonacci polynomials are defined by a recurrence relation: Fnx=xFn−1x+Fn−2x,n≥2 where F0=0,F1=1. The first few Fibonacci polynomials are F0=0, F0x=0, F1x=1, F2x=x, F3x=x2+1. In this chapter, we extend the Fibonacci recurrence relation to define the sequence {Kn} and will derive some properties of this sequence. We also define four comparison sequences {Pn}, {Qn}, {Rn}, and {Sn} and obtain some identities with the help of generating matrix.

1. Introduction
The Fibonacci sequence [1] receives its name from Leonardo Pisano, known as Fibonacci who was the most talented Italian mathematician of middle age. It is supposed that he was the first mathematician who introduced the Hindu-Arabic system of numbers to Italians. His work ‘Liber-Abaci’ (1202) is famous for this.
In the Liber Abaci, Leonardo states the famous “Rabbit Problem” for attaining the output of this rabbit problem.
1.1 Utilization of Fibonacci sequence in the study of famous rabbit problem
“How many pairs of rabbits are born of one pair in a year?” This problem is stated in the form: “Suppose a newly-born pair of rabbits, one male and one female, are put in a field. Rabbits are able to mate at the age of 1 month so that at the end of its second month a female can produce another pair of rabbits.”
Suppose that our rabbits never die and that the female always produces one new pair (one male and one female) every month from the second month on.
Leonardo also gave the solution to this problem and obtained the sequence of numbers as a result:
This sequence is called the Fibonacci sequence. The Fibonacci sequence is defined by the recurrence relation as,

We can introduce generalized Fibonacci n-step polynomials. Based on generalized Fibonacci n-step polynomials, we can define a new class of square matrix of order n and we can state a new coding theory called generalized Fibonacci n-step theory.
3. Discussion
Mathematics has enormous potential for solving the various problems of daily life. The Fibonacci polynomials are a polynomial sequence that can be considered as generalization sequences worked upon by many mathematicians earlier like as Atanassov [11], Harne & Parihar [4], and Georgiev and Atanassov [8] in accordance with our findings. The chapter has wider acceptance for the fruitful study of various case studies as illustrated in the current citation, which is well supported by the earlier studies too.
4. Conclusions
There are many known identities for the Fibonacci recursion relation. We define the sequence {
