Math::NumSeq::Pell -- Pell numbers
use Math::NumSeq::Pell; my $seq = Math::NumSeq::Pell->new; my ($i, $value) = $seq->next;
The Pell numbers
0, 1, 2, 5, 12, 29, 70, ...
where P(k)=2*P(k-1)+P(k-2), starting from i=0 values P(0)=0 and P(1)=1.
See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::NumSeq for behaviour common to all sequence classes.
$seq = Math::NumSeq::Pell->new ()
Create and return a new sequence object.
($i, $value) = $seq->next()
Return the next index and value in the sequence.
When $value exceeds the range of a Perl unsigned integer the return is a Math::BigInt to preserve precision.
$value
Math::BigInt
$value = $seq->ith($i)
Return the $i'th Pell number.
$i
$bool = $seq->pred($value)
Return true if $value is a Pell number.
$i = $seq->value_to_i_estimate($value)
Return an estimate of the i corresponding to $value.
