  2. Generalizations of Fibonacci numbers - Wikipedia

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

    The tribonacci numbers are like the Fibonacci numbers, but instead of starting with two predetermined terms, the sequence starts with three predetermined terms and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding three terms. The first few tribonacci numbers are:

  3. Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_sequence

    This sequence of numbers of parents is the Fibonacci sequence. The number of ancestors at each level, F n, is the number of female ancestors, which is F n−1, plus the number of male ancestors, which is F n−2. [90] [91] This is under the unrealistic assumption that the ancestors at each level are otherwise unrelated.

  4. Fibonacci search technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_search_technique

    Let k be defined as an element in F, the array of Fibonacci numbers. n = F m is the array size. If n is not a Fibonacci number, let F m be the smallest number in F that is greater than n. The array of Fibonacci numbers is defined where F k+2 = F k+1 + F k, when k ≥ 0, F 1 = 1, and F 0 = 1. To test whether an item is in the list of ordered ...

  5. Fibonacci coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_coding

    In mathematics and computing, Fibonacci coding is a universal code [citation needed] which encodes positive integers into binary code words. It is one example of representations of integers based on Fibonacci numbers. Each code word ends with "11" and contains no other instances of "11" before the end.

  6. Fibonacci prime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_prime

    A prime divides if and only if p is congruent to ±1 modulo 5, and p divides + if and only if it is congruent to ±2 modulo 5. (For p = 5, F 5 = 5 so 5 divides F 5) . Fibonacci numbers that have a prime index p do not share any common divisors greater than 1 with the preceding Fibonacci numbers, due to the identity: [6]

  7. Formulas for generating Pythagorean triples - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formulas_for_generating...

    For Fibonacci numbers starting with F 1 = 0 and F 2 = 1 and with each succeeding Fibonacci number being the sum of the preceding two, one can generate a sequence of Pythagorean triples starting from (a 3, b 3, c 3) = (4, 3, 5) via

  8. Lagged Fibonacci generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagged_Fibonacci_generator

    A Lagged Fibonacci generator (LFG or sometimes LFib) is an example of a pseudorandom number generator. This class of random number generator is aimed at being an improvement on the 'standard' linear congruential generator. These are based on a generalisation of the Fibonacci sequence. The Fibonacci sequence may be described by the recurrence ...

  9. Overlapping subproblems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overlapping_subproblems

    [1] [2] [3] For example, the problem of computing the Fibonacci sequence exhibits overlapping subproblems. The problem of computing the nth Fibonacci number F(n), can be broken down into the subproblems of computing F(n − 1) and F(n − 2), and then adding the two.
