%N Fibonacci numbers: F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2) with F(0) = 0 and F(1) = 1.

%C D. E. Knuth writes: "Before Fibonacci wrote his work, the sequence F_{n} had already been discussed by Indian scholars, who had long been interested in rhythmic patterns that are formed from one-beat and two-beat notes. The number of such rhythms having n beats altogether is F_{n+1}; therefore both Gopāla (before 1135) and Hemachandra (c. 1150) mentioned the numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ... explicitly." (TAOCP Vol. 1, 2nd ed.) - _Peter Luschny_, Jan 11 2015

%C In keeping with historical accounts (see the references by P. Singh and S. Kak), the generalized Fibonacci sequence a, b, a + b, a + 2b, 2a + 3b, 3a + 5b, ... can also be described as the Gopala-Hemachandra numbers H(n) = H(n-1) + H(n-2), with F(n) = H(n) for a = b = 1, and Lucas sequence L(n) = H(n) for a = 2, b = 1. - Lekraj Beedassy, Jan 11 2015

%C Susantha Goonatilake writes: "[T]his sequence was well known in South Asia and used in the metrical sciences. Its development is attributed in part to Pingala (200 BC), later being associated with Virahanka (circa 700 AD), Gopala (circa 1135), and Hemachandra (circa 1150)—all of whom lived and worked prior to Fibonacci." (Toward a Global Science: Mining Civilizational Knowledge, p. 126) - _Russ Cox_, Sep 08 2021

%C Also sometimes called Hemachandra numbers.

%C Also sometimes called Lamé's sequence.

%C F(n) = number of binary words of length n beginning with 0 and having all runlengths odd; e.g., F(6) counts 010101, 010111, 010001, 011101, 011111, 000101, 000111, 000001. - _Clark Kimberling_, Jun 22 2004

%C The number of sequences (s(0),s(1),...,s(n)) such that 0 < s(i) < 5, |s(i)-s(i-1)|=1 and s(0)=1 is F(n+1); e.g., F(5+1) = 8 corresponds to 121212, 121232, 121234, 123212, 123232, 123234, 123432, 123434. - _Clark Kimberling_, Jun 22 2004 [corrected by Neven Juric, Jan 09 2009]

Also true: F(2n)*phi = [F(2n+1); -L(2n), L(2n), -L(2n), L(2n), ...] where L(i) is the i-th Lucas number (A000204). - _Clark Kimberling_, Nov 28 2004 [corrected by _Hieronymus Fischer_, Oct 20 2010]

%C The Fibonacci sequence, like any additive sequence, naturally tends to be geometric with common ratio not a rational power of 10; consequently, for a sufficiently large number of terms, Benford's law of first significant digit (i.e., first digit 1 <= d <= 9 occurring with probability log_10(d+1) - log_10(d)) holds. - _Lekraj Beedassy_, Apr 29 2005 (See Brown-Duncan, 1970. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Feb 12 2017)

Alternatively, F(n+1) equals the number of subsets A of {1,2,...,n} with the property that, if an odd k is in A, then the adjacent elements of {1,2,...,n} belong to A, i.e., both k - 1 and k + 1 are in A (provided they are in {1,2,...,n}). - _Brian Davey_, Aug 25 2006

%C Number of Kekulé structures in polyphenanthrenes. See the paper by Lukovits and Janezic for details. - _Parthasarathy Nambi_, Aug 22 2006

%C A result of Jacobi from 1848 states that every symmetric matrix over a p.i.d. is congruent to a triple-diagonal matrix. Consider the maximal number T(n) of summands in the determinant of an n X n triple-diagonal matrix. This is the same as the number of summands in such a determinant in which the main-, sub- and superdiagonal elements are all nonzero. By expanding on the first row we see that the sequence of T(n)'s is the Fibonacci sequence without the initial stammer on the 1's. - Larry Gerstein (gerstein(AT)math.ucsb.edu), Mar 30 2007

%C Suppose psi=log(phi). We get the representation F(n)=(2/sqrt(5))*sinh(n*psi) if n is even; F(n)=(2/sqrt(5))*cosh(n*psi) if n is odd. There is a similar representation for Lucas numbers (A000032). Many Fibonacci formulas now easily follow from appropriate sinh and cosh formulas. For example: the de Moivre theorem (cosh(x)+sinh(x))^m = cosh(mx)+sinh(mx) produces L(n)^2 + 5F(n)^2 = 2L(2n) and L(n)F(n) = F(2n) (setting x=n*psi and m=2). - _Hieronymus Fischer_, Apr 18 2007

%C Inverse: floor(log_phi(sqrt(5)*F(n)) + 1/2) = n, for n > 1. Also for n > 0, floor((1/2)*log_phi(5*F(n)*F(n+1))) = n. Extension valid for integer n, except n=0,-1: floor((1/2)*sign(F(n)*F(n+1))*log_phi|5*F(n)*F(n+1)|) = n (where sign(x) = sign of x). - _Hieronymus Fischer_, May 02 2007

%C F(n+2) = the number of Khalimsky-continuous functions with a two-point codomain. - Shiva Samieinia (shiva(AT)math.su.se), Oct 04 2007

%C This is a_1(n) in the Doroslovacki reference.

%C Let phi = A001622 then phi^n = (1/phi)*a(n) + a(n+1). - _Gary W. Adamson_, Dec 15 2007

%C The sequence of first differences, F(n+1)-F(n), is essentially the same sequence: 1, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, ... - _Colm Mulcahy_, Mar 03 2008

%C a(n) = the number of different ways to run up a staircase with n steps, taking steps of odd sizes where the order is relevant and there is no other restriction on the number or the size of each step taken. - _Mohammad K. Azarian_, May 21 2008

%C Equals row sums of triangle A144152. - _Gary W. Adamson_, Sep 12 2008

%C Except for the initial term, the numerator of the convergents to the recursion x = 1/(x+1). - _Cino Hilliard_, Sep 15 2008

%C F(n) is the number of possible binary sequences of length n that obey the sequential construction rule: if last symbol is 0, add the complement (1); else add 0 or 1. Here 0,1 are metasymbols for any 2-valued symbol set. This rule has obvious similarities to JFJ Laros's rule, but is based on addition rather than substitution and creates a tree rather than a single sequence. - _Ross Drewe_, Oct 05 2008

%C F(n) = Product_{k=1..(n-1)/2} (1 + 4*cos^2 k*Pi/n), where terms = roots to the Fibonacci product polynomials, A152063. - _Gary W. Adamson_, Nov 22 2008

%C A000032(n)^2 - 5*F(n)^2 = 4*(-1)^n. - _Gary W. Adamson_, Mar 11 2009

%C Output of Kasteleyn's formula for the number of perfect matchings of an m X n grid specializes to the Fibonacci sequence for m=2. - _Sarah-Marie Belcastro_, Jul 04 2009

%C (F(n),F(n+4)) satisfies the Diophantine equation: X^2 + Y^2 - 7XY = 9*(-1)^n. - _Mohamed Bouhamida_, Sep 06 2009

%C (F(n),F(n+2)) satisfies the Diophantine equation: X^2 + Y^2 - 3XY = (-1)^n. - _Mohamed Bouhamida_, Sep 08 2009

%C Difference between number of closed walks of length n+1 from a node on a pentagon and number of walks of length n+1 between two adjacent nodes on a pentagon. - _Henry Bottomley_, Feb 10 2010

%C F(n+1) = number of Motzkin paths of length n having exactly one weak ascent. A Motzkin path of length n is a lattice path from (0,0) to (n,0) consisting of U=(1,1), D=(1,-1) and H=(1,0) steps and never going below the x-axis. A weak ascent in a Motzkin path is a maximal sequence of consecutive U and H steps. Example: a(5)=5 because we have (HHHH), (HHU)D, (HUH)D, (UHH)D, and (UU)DD (the unique weak ascent is shown between parentheses; see A114690). - _Emeric Deutsch_, Mar 11 2010

%C (F(n-1) + F(n+1))^2 - 5*F(n-2)*F(n+2) = 9*(-1)^n. - _Mohamed Bouhamida_, Mar 31 2010

%C From the Pinter and Ziegler reference's abstract: authors "show that essentially the Fibonacci sequence is the unique binary recurrence which contains infinitely many three-term arithmetic progressions. A criterion for general linear recurrences having infinitely many three-term arithmetic progressions is also given." - _Jonathan Vos Post_, May 22 2010

%C F(n+1) = number of paths of length n starting at initial node on the path graph P_4. - _Johannes W. Meijer_, May 27 2010

%C F(k) = number of cyclotomic polynomials in denominator of generating function for number of ways to place k nonattacking queens on an n X n board. - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Jun 07 2010

%C As n->oo, (a(n)/a(n-1) - a(n-1)/a(n)) tends to 1.0. Example: a(12)/a(11) - a(11)/a(12) = 144/89 - 89/144 = 0.99992197.... - _Gary W. Adamson_, Jul 16 2010

%C From _Hieronymus Fischer_, Oct 20 2010: (Start)

%C Fibonacci numbers are those numbers m such that m*phi is closer to an integer than k*phi for all k, 1 <= k < m. More formally: a(0)=0, a(1)=1, a(2)=1, a(n+1) = minimal m > a(n) such that m*phi is closer to an integer than a(n)*phi.

%C For all numbers 1 <= k < F(n), the inequality |k*phi-round(k*phi)| > |F(n)*phi-round(F(n)*phi)| holds.

%C F(n)*phi - round(F(n)*phi) = -((-phi)^(-n)), for n > 1.

%C Fract(1/2 + F(n)*phi) = 1/2 -(-phi)^(-n), for n > 1.

%C Fract(F(n)*phi) = (1/2)*(1 + (-1)^n) - (-phi)^(-n), n > 1.

%C Inverse: n = -log_phi |1/2 - fract(1/2 + F(n)*phi)|.

%C (End)

%C F(A001177(n)*k) mod n = 0, for any integer k. - _Gary Detlefs_, Nov 27 2010

%C F(n+k)^2 - F(n)^2 = F(k)*F(2n+k), for even k. - _Gary Detlefs_, Dec 04 2010

%C F(n+k)^2 + F(n)^2 = F(k)*F(2n+k), for odd k. - _Gary Detlefs_, Dec 04 2010

%C F(n) = round(phi*F(n-1)) for n > 1. - _Joseph P. Shoulak_, Jan 13 2012

%C For n > 0: a(n) = length of n-th row in Wythoff array A003603. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Jan 26 2012

%C From _Bridget Tenner_, Feb 22 2012: (Start)

%C The number of free permutations of [n].

%C The number of permutations of [n] for which s_k in supp(w) implies s_{k+-1} not in supp(w).

%C The number of permutations of [n] in which every decomposition into length(w) reflections is actually composed of simple reflections. (End)

%C The sequence F(n+1)^(1/n) is increasing. The sequence F(n+2)^(1/n) is decreasing. - _Thomas Ordowski_, Apr 19 2012

%C Two conjectures: For n > 1, F(n+2)^2 mod F(n+1)^2 = F(n)*F(n+1) - (-1)^n. For n > 0, (F(2n) + F(2n+2))^2 = F(4n+3) + Sum_{k = 2..2n} F(2k). - _Alex Ratushnyak_, May 06 2012

%C From _Ravi Kumar Davala_, Jan 30 2014: (Start)

%C Proof of Ratushnyak's first conjecture: For n > 1, F(n+2)^2 - F(n)*F(n+1) + (-1)^n = 2*F(n+1)^2.

%C Consider: F(n+2)^2 - F(n)*F(n+1) - 2*F(n+1)^2

%C = F(n+2)^2 - F(n+1)^2 - F(n+1)^2 - F(n)*F(n+1)

%C = (F(n+2) + F(n+1))*(F(n+2) - F(n+1)) - F(n+1)*(F(n+1) + F(n))

%C = F(n+3)*F(n) - F(n+1)*F(n+2) = -(-1)^n.

%C Proof of second conjecture: L(n) stands for Lucas number sequence from A000032.

%C Consider the fact that

%C L(2n+1)^2 = L(4n+2) - 2

%C (F(2n) + F(2n+2))^2 = F(4n+1) + F(4n+3) - 2

%C (F(2n) + F(2n+2))^2 = (Sum_{k = 2..2n} F(2k)) + F(4n+3).

%C (End)

%C The relationship: INVERT transform of (1,1,0,0,0,...) = (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ...), while the INVERT transform of (1,0,1,0,1,0,1,...) = (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ...) is equivalent to: The numbers of compositions using parts 1 and 2 is equivalent to the numbers of compositions using parts == 1 (mod 2) (i.e., the odd integers). Generally, the numbers of compositions using parts 1 and k is equivalent to the numbers of compositions of (n+1) using parts 1 mod k. Cf. A000930 for k = 3 and A003269 for k = 4. Example: for k = 2, n = 4 we have the compositions (22; 211, 121; 112; 1111) = 5; but using parts 1 and 3 we have for n = 5: (311, 131, 113, 11111, 5) = 5. - _Gary W. Adamson_, Jul 05 2012

%C The sequence F(n) is the binomial transformation of the alternating sequence (-1)^(n-1)*F(n), whereas the sequence F(n+1) is the binomial transformation of the alternating sequence (-1)^n*F(n-1). Both of these facts follow easily from the equalities a(n;1)=F(n+1) and b(n;1)=F(n) where a(n;d) and b(n;d) are so-called "delta-Fibonacci" numbers as defined in comments to A014445 (see also the papers of Witula et al.). - _Roman Witula_, Jul 24 2012

%C F(n) is the number of different (n-1)-digit binary numbers such that all substrings of length > 1 have at least one digit equal to 1. Example: for n = 5 there are 8 binary numbers with n - 1 = 4 digits (1000, 1001, 1010, 1011, 1100, 1101, 1110, 1111), only the F(n) = 5 numbers 1010, 1011, 1101, 1110 and 1111 have the desired property. - _Hieronymus Fischer_, Nov 30 2012

%C For positive n, F(n+1) equals the determinant of the n X n tridiagonal matrix with 1's along the main diagonal, i's along the superdiagonal and along the subdiagonal where i = sqrt(-1). Example: Det([1,i,0,0; i,1,i,0; 0,i,1,i; 0,0,i,1]) = F(4+1) = 5. - _Philippe Deléham_, Feb 24 2013

%C For n >= 1, number of compositions of n where there is a drop between every second pair of parts, starting with the first and second part; see example. Also, a(n+1) is the number of compositions where there is a drop between every second pair of parts, starting with the second and third part; see example. - _Joerg Arndt_, May 21 2013 [see the Hopkins/Tangboonduangjit reference for a proof, see also the Checa reference for alternative proofs and statistics]

%C Central terms of triangles in A162741 and A208245, n > 0. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Jul 28 2013

%C For n >= 4, F(n-1) is the number of simple permutations in the geometric grid class given in A226433. - _Jay Pantone_, Sep 08 2013

%C a(n) are the pentagon (not pentagonal) numbers because the algebraic degree 2 number rho(5) = 2*cos(Pi/5) = phi (golden section), the length ratio diagonal/side in a pentagon, has minimal polynomial C(5,x) = x^2 - x - 1 (see A187360, n=5), hence rho(5)^n = a(n-1)*1 + a(n)*rho(5), n >= 0, in the power basis of the algebraic number field Q(rho(5)). One needs a(-1) = 1 here. See also the P. Steinbach reference under A049310. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Oct 01 2013

%C A010056(a(n)) = 1. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Oct 10 2013

%C Define F(-n) to be F(n) for n odd and -F(n) for n even. Then for all n and k, F(n+2k)^2 - F(n)^2 = F(n+k)*( F(n+3k) - F(n-k) ). - _Charlie Marion_, Dec 20 2013

%C ( F(n), F(n+2k) ) satisfies the Diophantine equation: X^2 + Y^2 - L(2k)*X*Y = F(4k)^2*(-1)^n. This generalizes Bouhamida's comments dated Sep 06 2009 and Sep 08 2009. - _Charlie Marion_, Jan 07 2014

%C For any prime p there is an infinite periodic subsequence within F(n) divisible by p, that begins at index n = 0 with value 0, and its first nonzero term at n = A001602(i), and period k = A001602(i). Also see A236479. - _Richard R. Forberg_, Jan 26 2014

%C Let P(x) = x/(1+x) with comp. inverse Pinv(x) = x/(1-x) = -P[-x], and C(x) = [1-sqrt(1-4x)]/2, an o.g.f. for the shifted Catalan numbers A000108, with inverse Cinv(x) = x * (1-x).

%C Fin(x) = P[C(x)] = C(x)/[1 + C(x)] is an o.g.f. for the Fine numbers, A000957 with inverse Fin^(-1)(x) = Cinv[Pinv(x)] = Cinv[-P(-x)].

%C Mot(x) = C[P(x)] = C[-Pinv(-x)] gives an o.g.f. for shifted A005043, the Motzkin or Riordan numbers with comp. inverse Mot^(-1)(x) = Pinv[Cinv(x)] = (x - x^2) / (1 - x + x^2) (cf. A057078).

%C F(n+1) equals the number of binary words of length n avoiding runs of zeros of odd lengths. - _Milan Janjic_, Jan 28 2015

%C From _Russell Jay Hendel_, Apr 12 2015: (Start)

%C We prove Conjecture 1 of Rashid listed in the Formula section.

%C We use the following notation: F(n)=A000045(n), the Fibonacci numbers, and L(n) = A000032(n), the Lucas numbers. The fundamental Fibonacci-Lucas recursion asserts that G(n) = G(n-1) + G(n-2), with "L" or "F" replacing "G".

%C We need the following prerequisites which we label (A), (B), (C), (D). The prerequisites are formulas in the Koshy book listed in the References section. (A) F(m-1) + F(m+1) = L(m) (Koshy, p. 97, #32), (B) L(2m) + 2*(-1)^m = L(m)^2 (Koshy p. 97, #41), (C) F(m+k)*F(m-k) = (-1)^n*F(k)^2 (Koshy, p. 113, #24, Tagiuri's identity), and (D) F(n)^2 + F(n+1)^2 = F(2n+1) (Koshy, p. 97, #30).

%C We must also prove (E), L(n+2)*F(n-1) = F(2n+1)+2*(-1)^n. To prove (E), first note that by (A), proof of (E) is equivalent to proving that F(n+1)*F(n-1) + F(n+3)*F(n-1) = F(2n+1) + 2*(-1)^n. But by (C) with k=1, we have F(n+1)*F(n-1) = F(n)^2 + (-1)^n. Applying (C) again with k=2 and m=n+1, we have F(n+3)*F(n-1) = F(n+1) + (-1)^n. Adding these two applications of (C) together and using (D) we have F(n+1)*F(n-1) + F(n+3)*F(n-1) = F(n)^2 + F(n+1)^2 + 2*(-1)^n = F(2n+1) + 2(-1)^n, completing the proof of (E).

%C We now prove Conjecture 1. By (A) and the Fibonacci-Lucas recursion, we have F(2n+1) + F(2n+2) + F(2n+3) + F(2n+4) = (F(2n+1) + F(2n+3)) + (F(2n+2) + F(2n+4)) = L(2n+2) +L(2n+3) = L(2n+4). But then by (B), with m=2n+4, we have sqrt(L(2n+4) + 2(-1)^n) = L(n+2). Finally by (E), we have L(n+2)*F(n-1) = F(2n+1) + 2*(-1)^n. Dividing both sides by F(n-1), we have (F(2n+1) + 2*(-1)^n)/F(n-1) = L(n+2) = sqrt(F(2n+1) + F(2n+2) + F(2n+3) + F(2n+4) + 2(-1)^n), as required.

%C F(n+1) is the number of subsets of {1,2,.,.,n} in which all differences between successive elements of subsets are odd. For example, for n = 6, F(7) = 13 and the 13 subsets are {6}, {1,6}, {3,6}, {5,6}, {2,3,6}, {2,5,6}, {4,5,6}, {1,2,3,6}, {1,2,5,6}, {1,4,5,6}, {3,4,5,6}, {2,3,4,5,6}, {1,2,3,4,5,6}. For even differences between elements see Comment in A016116. - _Enrique Navarrete_, Jul 01 2020

%C F(n) is the number of subsets of {1,2,...,n} in which the smallest element of the subset equals the size of the subset (this type of subset is sometimes called extraordinary). For example, F(6) = 8 and the subsets are {1}, {2,3}, {2,4}, {2,5}, {3,4,5}, {2,6}, {3,4,6}, {3,5,6}. It is easy to see that these subsets follow the Fibonacci recursion F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2) since we get F(n) such subsets by keeping all F(n-1) subsets from the previous stage (in the example, the F(5)=5 subsets that don't include 6), and by adding one to all elements and appending an additional element n to each subset in F(n-2) subsets (in the example, by applying this to the F(4)=3 subsets {1}, {2,3}, {2,4} we obtain {2,6}, {3,4,6}, {3,5,6}). - _Enrique Navarrete_, Sep 28 2020

%F F(n+k)^2 - L(k)*F(n)*F(n+k) + (-1)^k*F(n)^2 = (-1)^n*F(k)^2, if L(k) = A000032(k). - _Alexander Samokrutov_, Jul 20 2015

%F From _Bob Selcoe_, Mar 27 2016: (Start)

%F F(n) = (F(2n+k+1) - F(n+1)*F(n+k+1))/F(n+k), k >= 0.

%F Thus when k=0: F(n) = sqrt(F(2n+1) - F(n+1)^2).

%F F(n) = (F(3n) - F(n+1)^3 + F(n-1)^3)^(1/3).

%F F(n+2k) = binomial transform of any subsequence starting with F(n). Example F(6)=8: 1*8 = F(6)=8; 1*8 + 1*13 = F(8)=21; 1*8 + 2*13 + 1*21 = F(10)=55; 1*8 + 3*13 + 3*21 + 1*34 = F(12)=144, etc. This formula applies to Fibonacci-type sequences with any two seed values for a(0) and a(1) (e.g., Lucas sequence A000032: a(0)=2, a(1)=1).

%F For x even, F(n) = (F(n+x) + F(n-x))/L(x). For x odd, F(n) = (F(n+x) - F(n-x))/L(x) where n >= x in both cases. Therefore F(n) = F(2*n)/L(n) for n >= 0. - _David James Sycamore_, May 04 2018
