Fibonacci series The inventor of Fibonacci series is Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci, who was born in 1 170 and died in 1240. The native place is probably Pisa). He is called "Leonardo of Pisa". From 65438 to 0202, he wrote the book Liber Abaci. He was the first European to study the mathematical theories of India and Arabia. His father was hired as a diplomatic consul by a business group in Pisa and was stationed in today's Algeria, so Da Vinci was able to study mathematics under the guidance of an Arab teacher. He also studied mathematics in Egypt, Syria, Greece, Sicily and Provence.

Fibonacci series refers to such a series: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 2 1 ...

This series begins with the third item, each item is equal to the sum of the first two items. The general formula is: (1/√ 5) * {[(1+√ 5)/2] n-[(1-√ 5)/2] n} √ 5 stands for the radical number 5.

It is very interesting that such a series of completely natural numbers are actually represented by irrational numbers.

This series has many wonderful properties.

For example, when the number of items in a series increases, the ratio of the previous item to the latter item is close to the golden section point of 0.6 180339887. ...

There is another attribute. Starting from the second term, the square of each odd term is more than the product of the first two terms 1, and the square of each even term is less than the product of the first two terms 1.

If you see such a topic: someone cut an 8*8 square into four pieces and made a 5* 13 rectangle, pretending to be surprised and asking you: Why is 64 = 65? In fact, this property of Fibonacci sequence is used: 5, 8, 13 are just the three adjacent terms in the sequence. In fact, the area difference between the front and rear blocks is indeed 1, but there is a slender slit in the back picture, which is not easy for ordinary people to notice.

If you start with any two numbers, such as 5, -2.4, and then add them together to form 5, -2.4, 2.6, 0.2, 2.8, 3, 5.8, 8.8, 14.6, etc. You will find that with the development of the series, the ratio of the first two items is getting closer and closer to the golden section.

The nth term of Fibonacci sequence also means that the set {1, 2, ..., n} does not contain adjacent positive integers.

Fibonacci sequence alias

Fibonacci series is also called "rabbit series" because mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci introduced it by taking rabbit breeding as an example.

Fibonacci sequence

Generally speaking, rabbits can reproduce two months after birth, and a pair of rabbits can give birth to a pair of rabbits every month. If rabbits don't die, how many pairs of rabbits can you breed a year?

We might as well take a pair of newborn rabbits to analyze:

In the first month, rabbits can't reproduce, so they are still a pair;

Two months later, two couples gave birth to a pair of rabbits.

Three months later, the old rabbit gave birth to another pair, because the little rabbit has no reproductive ability, so one pair is three pairs;

-

By analogy, the following table can be listed:

Several months have passed: 012345678910112.

Rabbit logarithm:1123581321345 589144233.

The numbers 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8- in the table form a series. This series has a very obvious feature, that is, the sum of the two adjacent items in front constitutes the latter item.

This series was put forward by the Italian mathematician Fibonacci in the Encyclopedia of Abacus in the Middle Ages. Except a(n+2)=an+a(n+ 1)/, the general formula of this series can also be proved as an = 1/√ [( 1+).

Derivation of general term formula of Fibonacci sequence

Fibonacci series: 1, 1, 2,3,5,8,13,21 ...

Let F(n) be the nth term (n∈N+) of the series. Then this sentence can be written in the following form:

F( 1)=F(2)= 1,F(n)=F(n- 1)+F(n-2) (n≥3)

Obviously, this is a linear recursive sequence.

General formula derivation method 1: Using characteristic equation

The characteristic equation of linear recursive sequence is:

X^2=X+ 1

solve

X 1=( 1+√5)/2,X2=( 1-√5)/2。

Then f (n) = c1* x1n+C2 * x2n.

∫F( 1)= F(2)= 1

∴C 1*X 1 + C2*X2

C 1*X 1^2 + C2*X2^2

The solution is c1=1√ 5, C2 =-1√ 5.

∴ f (n) = (1/√ 5) * {[(1+√ 5)/2] n-[(1-√ 5)/2] n} √ 5 represents the radical number 5.

Derivation method of general formula 2: general method

Let constant r, s

Let f (n)-r * f (n-1) = s * [f (n-1)-r * f (n-2)]

Then r+s= 1, -rs= 1.

When n≥3, there are

F(n)-r * F(n- 1)= s *[F(n- 1)-r * F(n-2)]

F(n- 1)-r * F(n-2)= s *[F(n-2)-r * F(n-3)]

F(n-2)-r * F(n-3)= s *[F(n-3)-r * F(n-4)]

……

F(3)-r * F(2)= s *[F(2)-r * F( 1)]

Multiply the above n-2 expressions to get:

f(n)-r*f(n- 1)=[s^(n-2)]*[f(2)-r*f( 1)]

∫s = 1-r,F( 1)=F(2)= 1

The above formula can be simplified as:

f(n)=s^(n- 1)+r*f(n- 1)

So:

f(n)=s^(n- 1)+r*f(n- 1)

= s^(n- 1)+r*s^(n-2)+r^2*f(n-2)

= s^(n- 1)+r*s^(n-2)+r^2*s^(n-3)+r^3*f(n-3)

……

= s^(n- 1)+r*s^(n-2)+r^2*s^(n-3)+……+r^(n-2)*s+r^(n- 1)*f( 1)

= s^(n- 1)+r*s^(n-2)+r^2*s^(n-3)+……+r^(n-2)*s+r^(n- 1)

(This is the sum of terms of geometric series with S (n- 1) as the first term, R (n- 1) as the last term, and r/s as the tolerance).

=[s^(n- 1)-r^(n- 1)*r/s]/( 1-r/s)

=(s^n - r^n)/(s-r)

The solutions of R+S = 1 and -RS = 1 are S = (1+√ 5)/2, and R = (1-√ 5)/2.

Then f (n) = (1√ 5) * {[(1+√ 5)/2] n-[(1-√ 5)/2] n}
