  2. Generalizations of Fibonacci numbers - Wikipedia

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

    The n-Fibonacci constant is the ratio toward which adjacent -Fibonacci numbers tend; it is also called the n th metallic mean, and it is the only positive root of =. For example, the case of n = 1 {\displaystyle n=1} is 1 + 5 2 {\displaystyle {\frac {1+{\sqrt {5}}}{2}}} , or the golden ratio , and the case of n = 2 {\displaystyle n=2} is 1 + 2 ...

  3. Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_sequence

    Fibonacci numbers are also strongly related to the golden ratio: Binet's formula expresses the n-th Fibonacci number in terms of n and the golden ratio, and implies that the ratio of two consecutive Fibonacci numbers tends to the golden ratio as n increases. Fibonacci numbers are also closely related to Lucas numbers, which obey the same ...

  4. Golden ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio

    The ratio of Fibonacci numbers ⁠ ⁠ and ⁠ ⁠, each over ⁠ ⁠ digits, yields over ⁠ ⁠ significant digits of the golden ratio. The decimal expansion of the golden ratio ⁠ φ {\displaystyle \varphi } ⁠ [ 1 ] has been calculated to an accuracy of ten trillion ( ⁠ 1 × 10 13 = 10,000,000,000,000 {\displaystyle \textstyle 1\times ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Golden spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_spiral

    A Fibonacci spiral starts with a rectangle partitioned into 2 squares. In each step, a square the length of the rectangle's longest side is added to the rectangle. Since the ratio between consecutive Fibonacci numbers approaches the golden ratio as the Fibonacci numbers approach infinity, so too does this spiral get more similar to the previous ...

  7. Reciprocal Fibonacci constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocal_Fibonacci_constant

    The reciprocal Fibonacci constant ψ is the sum of the reciprocals of the Fibonacci numbers: = = = + + + + + + + +. Because the ratio of successive terms tends to the reciprocal of the golden ratio, which is less than 1, the ratio test shows that the sum converges.

  8. Greedy algorithm for Egyptian fractions - Wikipedia

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

    That is, the first term of the greedy expansion of the golden ratio is ⁠ 1 / 1 ⁠. If x 1 is the remaining fraction after the first step of the greedy expansion, it satisfies the equation P 0 (x 1 + 1) = 0, which can be expanded as P 1 (x 1) = x 2 1 + x 1 − 1 = 0.

  9. Golden-section search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden-section_search

    The two interval lengths are in the ratio c : r or r : c where r = φ − 1; and c = 1 − r, with φ being the golden ratio. Using the triplet, determine if convergence criteria are fulfilled. If they are, estimate the X at the minimum from that triplet and return. From the triplet, calculate the other interior point and its functional value.
