NAME

Math::NumSeq::FibonacciWord -- 0/1 related to Fibonacci numbers

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

This is a sequence of 0s and 1s formed from the Fibonacci numbers. The start is 0,1 then a Fibonacci number F(k) many values are copied from the start to extend, so

    0,1                                         initial
    0,1,0                                       append 1 value
    0,1,0,0,1                                   append 2 values
    0,1,0,0,1,0,1,0                             append 3 values
    0,1,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1                   append 5 values
    0,1,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,1,0,1,0   append 8 values
    etc

The same sequence is had by starting 0 and then repeatedly expanding

    0 -> 0,1
    1 -> 0

The result is also the Fibbinary numbers modulo 2. This can be seen most easily from the Zeckendorf base interpretation of those numbers since the base breakdown there works backwards from the above expansion subtracting Fibonacci numbers F(k) until reaching 0 or 1. (See "Zeckendorf Base" in Math::NumSeq::Fibbinary.)

Dense Fibonacci Word

Option fibonacci_word_type => "dense" selects the dense Fibonacci word

    1,0,2,2,1,0,2,2,1,1,0,2,1,1,...

This is the above plain word taken two values at a time encoded as

    plain    dense
     0,0       0    
     0,1       1
     1,0       2

For example the plain Fibonacci word starts 0,1 so the dense form starts 1. Adjacent 1,1 never occurs in the plain Fibonacci word, so there's no value 3 in the dense form.

FUNCTIONS

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

$seq = Math::NumSeq::FibonacciWord->new (fibonacci_word_type => "dense")

Create and return a new sequence object.

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

Return the $i'th value in the sequence. The first value is at i=0.

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

Return true if $value occurs in the sequence, which simply means 0 or 1, or for the dense Fibonacci word 0, 1 or 2.
