  2. Fibonacci coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_coding

    To encode an integer N: . Find the largest Fibonacci number equal to or less than N; subtract this number from N, keeping track of the remainder.; 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).

    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 ...

    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 ...

  6. 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 .

  7. Linear-feedback shift register - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear-feedback_shift_register

    The sequence of numbers generated by an LFSR or its XNOR counterpart can be considered a binary numeral system just as valid as Gray code or the natural binary code. The arrangement of taps for feedback in an LFSR can be expressed in finite field arithmetic as a polynomial mod 2. This means that the coefficients of the polynomial must be 1s or 0s.

    A modification of Lagged-Fibonacci generators. Subtract-with-borrow (SWB) 1991 G. Marsaglia and A. Zaman [18] A modification of Lagged-Fibonacci generators. A SWB generator is the basis for the RANLUX generator, [19] widely used e.g. for particle physics simulations. Maximally periodic reciprocals: 1992 R. A. J. Matthews [20]

  9. Comma code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma_code

    A comma code is a type of prefix-free code in which a comma, a particular symbol or sequence of symbols, occurs at the end of a code word and never occurs otherwise. [1] This is an intuitive way to express arrays. For example, Fibonacci coding is a comma code in which the comma is 11.
