  2. 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 ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Fibonacci coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_coding

    If the number subtracted was the i th Fibonacci number F(i), put a 1 in place i − 2 in the code word (counting the left most digit as place 0). Repeat the previous steps, substituting the remainder for N, until a remainder of 0 is reached. Place an additional 1 after the rightmost digit in the code word.

  5. Anonymous recursion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_recursion

    Even without mechanisms to refer to the current function or calling function, anonymous recursion is possible in a language that allows functions as arguments. This is done by adding another parameter to the basic recursive function and using this parameter as the function for the recursive call.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Lucas number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas_number

    The sequence also has a variety of relationships with the Fibonacci numbers, like the fact that adding any two Fibonacci numbers two terms apart in the Fibonacci sequence results in the Lucas number in between. [3] The first few Lucas numbers are 2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, 47, 76, 123, 199, 322, 521, 843, 1364, 2207, 3571, 5778, 9349, ... .

  9. Iterator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterator

    An example of a Python generator returning an iterator for the Fibonacci numbers using Python's yield statement follows: def fibonacci ( limit ): a , b = 0 , 1 for _ in range ( limit ): yield a a , b = b , a + b for number in fibonacci ( 100 ): # The generator constructs an iterator print ( number )
