Fibonacci sequence. In mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence is a sequence in which each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. Numbers that are part of the Fibonacci sequence are known as Fibonacci numbers, commonly denoted Fn . The sequence commonly starts from 0 and 1, although some authors start the sequence from 1 and 1 or sometimes ...
Generalizations of Fibonacci numbers. In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers form a sequence defined recursively by: That is, after two starting values, each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers. The Fibonacci sequence has been studied extensively and generalized in many ways, for example, by starting with other numbers than 0 and 1 ...
In mathematics, the look-and-say sequence is the sequence of integers beginning as follows: 1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221, 312211, 13112221, 1113213211, 31131211131221, ... (sequence A005150 in the OEIS ). To generate a member of the sequence from the previous member, read off the digits of the previous member, counting the number of digits in groups ...
In statistics, Halton sequences are sequences used to generate points in space for numerical methods such as Monte Carlo simulations. Although these sequences are deterministic, they are of low discrepancy, that is, appear to be random for many purposes. They were first introduced in 1960 and are an example of a quasi-random number sequence.
Low-discrepancy sequence. In mathematics, a low-discrepancy sequence is a sequence with the property that for all values of N, its subsequence x1, ..., xN has a low discrepancy . Roughly speaking, the discrepancy of a sequence is low if the proportion of points in the sequence falling into an arbitrary set B is close to proportional to the ...
Arithmetic progression. An arithmetic progression or arithmetic sequence ( AP) is a sequence of numbers such that the difference from any succeeding term to its preceding term remains constant throughout the sequence. The constant difference is called common difference of that arithmetic progression. For instance, the sequence 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 ...
Padovan sequence. In number theory, the Padovan sequence is the sequence of integers P ( n) defined [1] by the initial values. and the recurrence relation. The first few values of P ( n) are. A Padovan prime is a Padovan number that is prime. The first Padovan primes are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 37, 151, 3329, 23833, 13091204281, 3093215881333057 ...
A constant-recursive sequence is any sequence of integers, rational numbers, algebraic numbers, real numbers, or complex numbers (written as as a shorthand) satisfying a formula of the form. for all for some fixed coefficients ranging over the same domain as the sequence (integers, rational numbers, algebraic numbers, real numbers, or complex ...
