On New Sequences of $p$-Binomial and Catalan Transforms of the $k$-Mersenne Numbers and Associated Generating Functions

In this work, we investigate the binomial transforms and Catalan transform of the $k$-Mersenne and $k$-Mersenne-Lucas numbers and examine the new integer sequences. We apply the $p$-binomial, rising $p$-binomial, and falling $p$-binomial transforms to the $k$-Mersenne sequences and present the associated generating and exponential generating functions for these transforms. Lastly, we provide the corresponding Binet-type formulas and recurrence relations for binomial transforms of the $k$-Mersenne ($k$-Mersenne-Lucas) numbers. These results are supported by numerical illustrations.
