negaLucas

Compute the nth negaLucas number.

The negaLucas numbers are the integer sequence

The sequence is defined by the recurrence relation

which yields

with seed values L_0 = 2 and L_{-1} = -1.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-negalucas

Usage

var negalucas = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-negalucas' );

negalucas( n )

Computes the nth negaLucas number.

var v = negalucas( 0 );
// returns 2

v = negalucas( -1 );
// returns -1

v = negalucas( -2 );
// returns 3

v = negalucas( -3 );
// returns -4

v = negalucas( -76 );
// returns 7639424778862807

If n < -76, the function returns NaN, as larger negaLucas numbers cannot be safely represented in double-precision floating-point format.

var v = negalucas( -77 );
// returns NaN

If not provided a nonpositive integer value, the function returns NaN.

var v = negalucas( -3.14 );
// returns NaN

v = negalucas( 1 );
// returns NaN

If provided NaN, the function returns NaN.

var v = negalucas( NaN );
// returns NaN

Examples

var negalucas = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-negalucas' );

var v;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i > -77; i-- ) {
    v = negalucas( i );
    console.log( v );
}

C APIs

Usage

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

stdlib_base_negalucas( n )

Computes the nth negaLucas number.

double out = stdlib_base_negalucas( 0 );
// returns 0

out = stdlib_base_negalucas( -1 );
// returns -1

The function accepts the following arguments:

• n: [in] int32_t input value.

double stdlib_base_negalucas( const int32_t n );

Examples

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

int main( void ) {
    int32_t i;
    double v;

    for ( i = 0; i > -77; i-- ) {
        v = stdlib_base_negalucas( i );
        printf( "negalucas(%d) = %lf\n", i, v );
    }
}
