Fibonorial

Last updated

In mathematics, the Fibonorialn!F, also called the Fibonacci factorial, where n is a nonnegative integer, is defined as the product of the first n positive Fibonacci numbers, i.e.

where Fi is the ith Fibonacci number, and 0!F gives the empty product (defined as the multiplicative identity, i.e. 1).

The Fibonorial n!F is defined analogously to the factorial n!. The Fibonorial numbers are used in the definition of Fibonomial coefficients (or Fibonacci-binomial coefficients) similarly as the factorial numbers are used in the definition of binomial coefficients.

Asymptotic behaviour

The series of fibonorials is asymptotic to a function of the golden ratio : .

Here the fibonorial constant (also called the fibonacci factorial constant [1] ) is defined by , where and is the golden ratio.

An approximate truncated value of is 1.226742010720 (see (sequence A062073 in the OEIS ) for more digits).

Almost-Fibonorial numbers

Almost-Fibonorial numbers: n!F 1.

Almost-Fibonorial primes: prime numbers among the almost-Fibonorial numbers.

Quasi-Fibonorial numbers

Quasi-Fibonorial numbers: n!F + 1.

Connection with the q-Factorial

The fibonorial can be expressed in terms of the q-factorial and the golden ratio :

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 from 1 and 2. Starting from 0 and 1, the sequence begins

In mathematics, the discriminant of a polynomial is a quantity that depends on the coefficients and allows deducing some properties of the roots without computing them. More precisely, it is a polynomial function of the coefficients of the original polynomial. The discriminant is widely used in polynomial factoring, number theory, and algebraic geometry.

In mathematics, a recurrence relation is an equation according to which the th term of a sequence of numbers is equal to some combination of the previous terms. Often, only previous terms of the sequence appear in the equation, for a parameter that is independent of ; this number is called the order of the relation. If the values of the first numbers in the sequence have been given, the rest of the sequence can be calculated by repeatedly applying the equation.

In mathematics, the random Fibonacci sequence is a stochastic analogue of the Fibonacci sequence defined by the recurrence relation , where the signs + or − are chosen at random with equal probability , independently for different . By a theorem of Harry Kesten and Hillel Furstenberg, random recurrent sequences of this kind grow at a certain exponential rate, but it is difficult to compute the rate explicitly. In 1999, Divakar Viswanath showed that the growth rate of the random Fibonacci sequence is equal to 1.1319882487943..., a mathematical constant that was later named Viswanath's constant.
