%C Periodic with least period 60. - Christopher N. Swanson (cswanson(AT)ashland.edu), Jul 22 2003

%C From _Hieronymus Fischer_, Jul 01 2007: (Start)

%C The digital product analog (in base 10) of the Fibonacci recurrence.

%C a(n) and Fib(n)=A000045(n) are congruent modulo 10 which implies that (a(n) mod 10) is equal to (Fib(n) mod 10) = A003893(n). Thus (a(n) mod 10) is periodic with the Pisano period A001175(10)=60.

%C a(n)==A131297(n) modulo 10 (A131297(n)=digital sum analog base 11 of the Fibonacci recurrence).

%C For general bases p>1, we have the inequality 1<=a(n)<=2p-2 (for n>0). Actually, a(n)<=18.

%F From _Hieronymus Fischer_, Jul 01 2007: (Start)

%F a(n) = a(n-1)+a(n-2)-10*(floor(a(n-1)/10)+floor(a(n-2)/10)). This is valid, since a(n)<100.

%F a(n) = ds_10(a(n-1))+ds_10(a(n-2))-(floor(a(n-1)/10)+floor(a(n-2)/10)) where ds_10(x) is the digital sum of x in base 10.

%F a(n) = (a(n-1)mod 10)+(a(n-2)mod 10) = A010879(a(n-1))+A010879(a(n-2)).

%F a(n) = A131297(n) if A131297(n)<=10.

%F a(n) = Fib(n)-10*sum{1<k<n, Fib(n-k+1)*floor(a(k)/10)} where Fib(n)=A000045(n).

%F a(n) = A000045(n)-10*sum{1<k<n, A000045(n-k+1)*A059995(a(k))}. (End)
