  2. Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_sequence

    Such arrangements involving consecutive Fibonacci numbers appear in a wide variety of plants. Fibonacci sequences appear in biological settings, [ 79 ] such as branching in trees, arrangement of leaves on a stem , the fruitlets of a pineapple , [ 80 ] the flowering of artichoke , the arrangement of a pine cone , [ 81 ] and the family tree of ...

  3. Gilbreath's conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbreath's_conjecture

    Gilbreath's conjecture is a conjecture in number theory regarding the sequences generated by applying the forward difference operator to consecutive prime numbers and leaving the results unsigned, and then repeating this process on consecutive terms in the resulting sequence, and so forth.

  4. Continuant (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuant_(mathematics)

    The continuant (,, …,) can be computed by taking the sum of all possible products of x 1,...,x n, in which any number of disjoint pairs of consecutive terms are deleted (Euler's rule). For example,

  5. Generalizations of Fibonacci numbers - Wikipedia

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

    An alternate recursive formula for the limit of ratio of two consecutive -nacci numbers can be expressed as r = ∑ k = 0 n − 1 r − k {\displaystyle r=\sum _{k=0}^{n-1}r^{-k}} . The special case n = 2 {\displaystyle n=2} is the traditional Fibonacci series yielding the golden section φ = 1 + 1 φ {\displaystyle \varphi =1+{\frac {1 ...

  6. Agnew's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnew's_theorem

    When the sizes of groups of consecutive terms grow without bounds, it is necessary to look at the behavior of .. Mirroring permutations and circular shift permutations, as well as their inverses, add at most 1 interval to the main interval [,], hence and its inverse are Agnew permutations (with =), i.e., mirroring and circular shifting can be applied within the groups with the convergence type ...

  7. Primes in arithmetic progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primes_in_arithmetic...

    In number theory, primes in arithmetic progression are any sequence of at least three prime numbers that are consecutive terms in an arithmetic progression. An example is the sequence of primes (3, 7, 11), which is given by a n = 3 + 4 n {\displaystyle a_{n}=3+4n} for 0 ≤ n ≤ 2 {\displaystyle 0\leq n\leq 2} .

  8. Fibonacci word - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_word

    Another way of going from S n to S n +1 is to replace each symbol 0 in S n with the pair of consecutive symbols 0, 1 in S n +1, and to replace each symbol 1 in S n with the single symbol 0 in S n +1. Alternatively, one can imagine directly generating the entire infinite Fibonacci word by the following process: start with a cursor pointing to ...

  9. Random Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_Fibonacci_sequence

    A random Fibonacci sequence is an integer random sequence given by the numbers for natural numbers, where = = and the subsequent terms are chosen randomly according to the random recurrence relation = {+,;,. An instance of the random Fibonacci sequence starts with 1,1 and the value of the each subsequent term is determined by a fair coin toss: given two consecutive elements of the sequence ...
