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 super-diagonal 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

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

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

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

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.

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

Fib(n)*phi - round(Fib(n)*phi) = -((-phi)^(-n)), for n>1.

fract(0.5+Fib(n)*phi) = 0.5 -(-phi)^(-n), for n>1.

fract(Fib(n)*phi) = (1/2)*(1+(-1)^n)-(-phi)^(-n), n>1.

Inverse: n = -log_phi |0.5-fract(0.5+Fib(n)*phi)|. (End)

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

From Ravi Kumar Davala, Jan 30 2014: (Start)

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

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

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

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

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

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

Consider the fact that

    L(2n+1)^2 = L(4n+2) - 2

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

   (F(2n) + F(2n+2))^2 = sum{k = 2..2n, F(2k)} + F(4n+3).

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

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

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.

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

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).

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)].

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).

BTC(x) = C[Pinv(x)] gives A007317, a binomial transform of the Catalan numbers, with BTC^(-1)(x) = P[Cinv(x)].

Fib(x) = -Fin[Cinv(Cinv(-x))] = -P[Cinv(-x)] = x + 2 x^2 + 3 x^3 + 5 x^4 + ... = (x+x^2)/[1-x-x^2] is an o.g.f. for the shifted Fibonacci sequence A000045, so the comp. inverse is Fib^(-1)(x) = -C[Pinv(-x)] = -BTC(-x) and Fib(x) = -BTC^(-1)(-x).

Generalizing to P(x,t) = x /(1 + t*x) and Pinv(x,t) = x /(1 - t*x) = -P(-x,t) gives other relations to lattice paths, such as the o.g.f. for A091867, C[P[x,1-t]], and that for A104597, Pinv[Cinv(x),t+1].

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

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

F(n+1) equals the number of binary words of length n avoiding runs of zeroes of odd lengths. - Milan Janjic, Jan 28 2015

From Russell Jay Hendel, Apr 12 2015: (Start)

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

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".

We need the following prerequisites which we label (A), (B),(C), (D). The prerequisites are formulae 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).

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).

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. (End)

In Fibonacci's Liber Abaci the rabbit problem appears in the translation of L. E. Sigler on pp. 404-405, and a remark [27] on p. 637. - Wolfdieter Lang, Apr 17 2015

a(n) counts partially ordered partitions of (n-1) into parts 1,2,3 where only the order of adjacent 1's and 2's are unimportant. (See example.) - David Neil McGrath, Jul 27 2015

F(n) divides F(nk). Proven by Marjorie Bicknell and Verner E Hoggatt Jr. - Juhani Heino, Aug 24 2015

F(n) is the number of UDU-equivalence classes of ballot paths of length n. Two ballot paths of length n with steps U = (1,1), D = (1,-1) are UDU-equivalent whenever the positions of UDU are the same in both paths. - Kostas Manes, Aug 25 2015

Kurmang. Aziz. Rashid, Feb 21 2004, makes 4 conjectures and gives 3 theorems:

Conjecture 1: for n>=2 sqrt{F(2n+1)+F(2n+2)+F(2n+3)+F(2n+4)+2*(-1)^n}={F(2n+1)+2*(-1)^n}/F(n-1).

(Sage) ## Demonstration program from Jaap Spies:

a = sloane.A000045; ## choose sequence

print a ## This returns the name of the sequence.

print a(38) ## This returns the 38th number of the sequence.

print a.list(39) ## This returns a list of the first 39 numbers.
