Let n\geq3 and J_{n}:=circ(J_{1},J_{2},...,J_{n}) and j_{n}:=\circ(j_{0},j_{1},...,j_{n-1}) be the n\timesn circulant matrices, associated with the nth Jacobsthal number J_{n} and the nth Jacobsthal-Lucas number j_{n}, respectively. The determinants of J_{n} and j_{n} are obtained in terms of the Jacobsthal and Jacobsthal-Lucas numbers. These imply that J_{n} and j_{n} are invertible. We also derive the inverses of J_{n} and j_{n}.

In this paper, another proof of Pell identities is presented by using the determinant of tridiagonal matrices. It is calculated via the Laplace expansion.

Let P=\circ(P_{1},P_{2},...,P_{n}) and Q=\circ(Q_{1},Q_{2},...,Q_{n}) be n\timesn circulant matrices where P_{n} and Q_{n} are nth Pell and Pell-Lucas numbers, respectively. The determinants of the matrices P and Q were expressed by the Pell and Pell-Lucas numbers. After, we prove that the matrices P and Q are the invertible for n\geq3 and then the inverses of the matrices P and Q are derived.

The generalized sequence of numbers is defined by W_{n}=pW_{n-1}+qW_{n-2} with initial conditions W_{0}=a and W_{1}=b for a,b,p,q\inZ and n\geq2, respectively. Let W_{n}=circ(W_{1},W_{2},...,W_{n}). The aim of this paper is to establish some useful formulas for the determinants and inverses of W_{n} using the nice properties of the number sequences. Matrix decompositions are derived for W_{n} in order to obtain the results.

In this paper, we compose a computational algorithm for the determinant and the inverse of the n x n cyclic nonadiagonal matrix. The algorithm is suited for implementation using computer algebra systems (CAS) such as Mathematica and Maple.
