  2. Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_sequence

    In mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence is a sequence in which each element is the sum of the two elements that precede it. Numbers that are part of the Fibonacci sequence are known as Fibonacci numbers , commonly denoted F n .

  3. Fibonacci search technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_search_technique

    Fibonacci search has an average- and worst-case complexity of O(log n) (see Big O notation). The Fibonacci sequence has the property that a number is the sum of its two predecessors. Therefore the sequence can be computed by repeated addition. The ratio of two consecutive numbers approaches the Golden ratio, 1.618... Binary search works by ...

  4. Generalizations of Fibonacci numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalizations_of...

    A Fibonacci sequence of order n is an integer sequence in which each sequence element is the sum of the previous elements (with the exception of the first elements in the sequence). The usual Fibonacci numbers are a Fibonacci sequence of order 2.

    In this section we shall use the Fibonacci Box in place of the primitive triple it represents. An infinite ternary tree containing all primitive Pythagorean triples/Fibonacci Boxes can be constructed by the following procedure. [10] Consider a Fibonacci Box containing two, odd, coprime integers x and y in the right-hand column.

  6. Pisano period - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisano_period

    Plot of the first 10,000 Pisano periods. In number theory, the nth Pisano period, written as π (n), is the period with which the sequence of Fibonacci numbers taken modulo n repeats.

  8. Lucas number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas_number

    The sequence also has a variety of relationships with the Fibonacci numbers, like the fact that adding any two Fibonacci numbers two terms apart in the Fibonacci sequence results in the Lucas number in between. [3] The first few Lucas numbers are 2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, 47, 76, 123, 199, 322, 521, 843, 1364, 2207, 3571, 5778, 9349, ... .

  9. Greedy algorithm for Egyptian fractions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_algorithm_for...

    Truncating this sequence to k terms and forming the corresponding Egyptian fraction, e.g. (for k = 4) + + + = results in the closest possible underestimate of 1 by any k-term Egyptian fraction. [5] That is, for example, any Egyptian fraction for a number in the open interval ( ⁠ 1805 / 1806 ⁠ , 1) requires at least five terms.
