  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 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 ...

  4. Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_sequence

    The Fibonacci numbers can be found in different ways among the set of binary strings, or equivalently, among the subsets of a given set. The number of binary strings of length n without consecutive 1 s is the Fibonacci number F n+2.

  5. Fixed-point combinator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_combinator

    The Y combinator allows recursion to be defined as a set of rewrite rules, [21] without requiring native recursion support in the language. [22] In programming languages that support anonymous functions, fixed-point combinators allow the definition and use of anonymous recursive functions, i.e. without having to bind such functions to identifiers.

  6. Overlapping subproblems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overlapping_subproblems

    In the following two implementations for calculating fibonacci sequence, fibonacci uses regular recursion and fibonacci_mem uses memoization. fibonacci_mem is much more efficient as the value for any particular n is computed only once.

  7. Hofstadter sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofstadter_sequence

    The presentation of the Q sequence in Hofstadter's book is actually the first known mention of a meta-Fibonacci sequence in literature. [8] While the terms of the Fibonacci sequence are determined by summing the two preceding terms, the two preceding terms of a Q number determine how far to go back in the Q sequence to find the two terms to be ...

  8. Fibonacci heap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_heap

    In computer science, a Fibonacci heap is a data structure for priority queue operations, consisting of a collection of heap-ordered trees. It has a better amortized running time than many other priority queue data structures including the binary heap and binomial heap .

  9. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    That way, a nested call can modify its local variables without affecting any of the suspended calls variables. Recursion allows direct implementation of functionality defined by mathematical induction and recursive divide and conquer algorithms. Here is an example of a recursive function in C/C++ to find Fibonacci numbers:
