Fibonacci Number Index

Compute the Fibonacci number index.

The Fibonacci number index is given by

where φ is the golden ratio and F > 1.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-fibonacci-index

Usage

var fibonacciIndex = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-fibonacci-index' );

fibonacciIndex( F )

Computes the Fibonacci number index for F_n > 1.

var n = fibonacciIndex( 2 );
// returns 3

n = fibonacciIndex( 3 );
// returns 4

n = fibonacciIndex( 5 );
// returns 5

If provided either a non-integer or F_n <= 1, the function returns NaN.

var n = fibonacciIndex( -1 );
// returns NaN

n = fibonacciIndex( 3.14 );
// returns NaN

If provided NaN, the function returns NaN.

var n = fibonacciIndex( NaN );
// returns NaN

Examples

var fibonacciIndex = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-fibonacci-index' );

var F1;
var F2;
var FN;
var n;
var i;

F1 = 1;
F2 = 1;
for ( i = 3; i < 79; i++ ) {
    FN = F1 + F2;
    F1 = F2;
    F2 = FN;
    n = fibonacciIndex( FN );
    console.log( 'n(%d) = %d', FN, n );
}

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/fibonacci_index.h"

stdlib_base_fibonacci_index( F )

Compute the Fibonacci number index.

double out = stdlib_base_fibonacci( 2 );
// returns 3

out = stdlib_base_fibonacci( 3 );
// returns 4

The function accepts the following arguments:

• n: [in] double input value.

double stdlib_base_fibonacci( const double F );

Examples

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/fibonacci_index.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main( void ) {
    const double x[] = { 2.0, 3.0, 5.0, 8.0 };

    double y;
    int i;
    for ( i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
        y = stdlib_base_fibonacci_index( x[ i ] );
        printf( "fibonacci_index(%lf) = %lf\n", x[ i ], y );
    }
}
