    In mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence is a ... [20] The name "Fibonacci sequence" was first used by ... evaluated in terms of theta functions. For example, ...

  3. Generalizations of Fibonacci numbers - Wikipedia

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

    A repfigit, or Keith number, is an integer such that, when its digits start a Fibonacci sequence with that number of digits, the original number is eventually reached. An example is 47, because the Fibonacci sequence starting with 4 and 7 (4, 7, 11, 18, 29, 47) reaches 47. A repfigit can be a tribonacci sequence if there are 3 digits in the ...

  4. Pisano period - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisano_period

    For generalized Fibonacci sequences (satisfying the same recurrence relation, but with other initial values, e.g. the Lucas numbers) the number of occurrences of 0 per cycle is 0, 1, 2, or 4. The ratio of the Pisano period of n and the number of zeros modulo n in the cycle gives the rank of apparition or Fibonacci entry point of n.

  5. Recurrence relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurrence_relation

    In mathematics, a recurrence relation is an equation according to which the th term of a sequence of numbers is equal to some combination of the previous terms. Often, only k {\displaystyle k} previous terms of the sequence appear in the equation, for a parameter k {\displaystyle k} that is independent of n {\displaystyle n} ; this number k ...

  6. Integer sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_sequence

    Beginning of the Fibonacci sequence on a building in Gothenburg. In mathematics, an integer sequence is a sequence (i.e., an ordered list) of integers.. An integer sequence may be specified explicitly by giving a formula for its nth term, or implicitly by giving a relationship between its terms.

  7. Lucas number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas_number

    As with the Fibonacci numbers, each Lucas number is defined to be the sum of its two immediately previous terms, thereby forming a Fibonacci integer sequence. The first two Lucas numbers are = and =, which differs from the first two Fibonacci numbers = and =. Though closely related in definition, Lucas and Fibonacci numbers exhibit distinct ...

  8. Liber Abaci - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liber_Abaci

    Another example in this chapter involves the growth of a population of rabbits, where the solution requires generating a numerical sequence. [8] Although the resulting Fibonacci sequence dates back long before Leonardo, [ 9 ] its inclusion in his book is why the sequence is named after him today.

  9. Complete sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_sequence

    For example, the sequence of powers of two (1, 2, 4, 8, ...), the basis of the binary numeral system, is a complete sequence; given any natural number, we can choose the values corresponding to the 1 bits in its binary representation and sum them to obtain that number (e.g. 37 = 100101 2 = 1 + 4 + 32). This sequence is minimal, since no value ...
