NAME

Math::NumSeq::LucasNumbers -- Lucas numbers

SYNOPSIS

 use Math::NumSeq::LucasNumbers;
 my $seq = Math::NumSeq::LucasNumbers->new;
 my ($i, $value) = $seq->next;

DESCRIPTION

The Lucas numbers 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, etc, being L(i) = L(i-1) + L(i-2) starting from 1,3. This is the same recurrence as the Fibonacci numbers, but a different starting point.

FUNCTIONS

See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::NumSeq for the behaviour common to all path classes.

$seq = Math::NumSeq::LucasNumbers->new ()

Create and return a new sequence object.

$value = $seq->ith($i)

Return the $i'th Lucas number.

$bool = $seq->pred($value)

Return true if $value is a Lucas number.
