  2. Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_sequence

    Fibonacci numbers are used in a polyphase version of the merge sort algorithm in which an unsorted list is divided into two lists whose lengths correspond to sequential Fibonacci numbers—by dividing the list so that the two parts have lengths in the approximate proportion φ.

    A page of the Liber Abaci from the National Central Library.The list on the right shows the numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377 (the Fibonacci sequence).

  4. Generalizations of Fibonacci numbers - Wikipedia

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

    A Fibonacci sequence of order n is an integer sequence in which each sequence element is the sum of the previous elements (with the exception of the first elements in the sequence). The usual Fibonacci numbers are a Fibonacci sequence of order 2.

  5. Fibonacci - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci

    In the Fibonacci sequence, each number is the sum of the previous two numbers. Fibonacci omitted the "0" and first "1" included today and began the sequence with 1, 2, 3, ... . He carried the calculation up to the thirteenth place, the value 233, though another manuscript carries it to the next place, the value 377.

  7. Fibonacci prime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_prime

    That is to say, the Fibonacci sequence is a divisibility sequence. F p is prime for 8 of the first 10 primes p; the exceptions are F 2 = 1 and F 19 = 4181 = 37 × 113. However, Fibonacci primes appear to become rarer as the index increases. F p is prime for only 26 of the 1229 primes p smaller than 10,000. [3]

  8. Wall–Sun–Sun prime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall–Sun–Sun_prime

    The k-Wall–Sun–Sun primes can be explicitly defined as primes p such that p 2 divides the k-Fibonacci number (()), where F k (n) = U n (k, −1) is a Lucas sequence of the first kind with discriminant D = k 2 + 4 and () is the Pisano period of k-Fibonacci numbers modulo p. [15]

  9. Pisano period - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisano_period

    Plot of the first 10,000 Pisano periods. In number theory, the nth Pisano period, written as π (n), is the period with which the sequence of Fibonacci numbers taken modulo n repeats.
