Beginning with a old improvement of every subject, the publication publications readers throughout the crucial homes of the Fibonacci numbers, delivering many introductory-level examples. the writer explains the connection of the Fibonacci numbers to compositions and palindromes, tilings, graph conception, and the Lucas numbers.
The booklet proceeds to discover the Catalan numbers, with the writer drawing from their heritage to supply a superior origin of the underlying homes. the connection of the Catalan numbers to numerous suggestions is then awarded in examples facing partial orders, overall orders, topological sorting, graph idea, rooted-ordered binary timber, development avoidance, and the Narayana numbers.
The e-book positive factors a variety of aids and insights that permit readers to strengthen an entire figuring out of the awarded issues, including:
-
Real-world examples that display the appliance of the Fibonacci and the Catalan numbers to such fields as activities, botany, chemistry, physics, and laptop science
-
More than three hundred routines that let readers to discover a number of the awarded examples in higher depth
-
Illustrations that make clear and simplify the concepts
Fibonacci and Catalan Numbers is a superb ebook for classes on discrete arithmetic, combinatorics, and quantity concept, particularly on the undergraduate point. Undergraduates will locate the ebook to be a superb resource for self sufficient research, in addition to a resource of subject matters for learn. additional, loads of the fabric can be used for enrichment in highschool courses.

Extra resources for Fibonacci and Catalan Numbers: An Introduction
Extra fabric in this thought is given in References [29, 55]. instance 12. three: commence via contemplating the graph Hn including a zigzag association made from n standard hexagons—as proven in Fig. 12. five, for the situations of n = 1, 2, and three. We see that the graph H1 has 6 (= four + 2) vertices and six (= five + 1) edges. The graph H2 might be got from that of H1 by way of including on 5 new edges and 4 new vertices, as proven in Fig. 12. 5(b). therefore H2 has 6 + four (= 10 = four · 2 + 2) vertices and six + five (= eleven = five · 2 + 1) edges. Following go well with, the graph H3 has 14 (= four · three + 2) vertices and sixteen (= five · three + 1) edges. more often than not, the graph Hn has 4n + 2 vertices and 5n + 1 edges, and it represents the molecular graph of a catafusene (more officially, a cata-condensed benzenoid polycyclic hydrocarbon whose molecular formulation is given by way of C4n+2 H2n+4 , the place C is for carbon and H is for hydrogen). whilst n = 1, the catafusene C6 H6 is named benzene and looks as in Fig. 12. 6 (a). observe how in Fig. 12. 6 (b) now we have a moment drawing of benzene—different in line with the place now we have situated the double bonds for the carbon atoms. If we aren't authorized to rotate one determine in order that it feels like the opposite, then we'd reflect on those configurations H1 (a) H2 (b) H3 (c) determine 12. five EXAMPLES FROM GRAPH concept: AN creation TO THE LUCAS NUMBERS H H C H C C C C C H eighty five H H H H C C C C C H H (a) (b) C H H the 2 Kekulé constructions for Benzene determine 12. 6 as certain. From Reference [44, Pp. 187–188], we study that those configurations (the Kekul´e buildings for benzene) are the main good valence-bond buildings that may be written for this recognized hexagonal planar configuration. (Modern quantum mechanical idea means that the 2 particular buildings of benzene are in resonance and the particular constitution of benzene is a hybrid of the proposed Kekul´e constructions. ) Now we will expand what we've got discovered approximately benzene and investigate the Kekul´e constructions of the bigger catafusenes. We enable kn count number the variety of Kekul´e constructions for the catafusene C4n+2 H2n+4 . And now it's time to realize that kn can be the variety of ideal matchings for the graph Hn —each such excellent matching made of (1/2)(4n + 2) = 2n + 1 edges. we all know that k1 = 2. For n = 2, the catafusene C10 H8 is termed naphthalene. It has 3 Kekul´e buildings, for there are 3 excellent matchings for the graph H2 , as proven in Fig. 12. 7. accordingly, k2 = three. c a excellent Matchings: b j i (H2) d e g f 1) {aj, bc, de, fg, hello} 2) {aj, bg, cd, ef, hello} three) {ab, cd, ef, gh, ij} h determine 12. 7 For the overall formulation, ponder the zigzag association of n standard hexagons as proven in Fig. 12. eight on p. 86. (Here the association is for the case the place n is abnormal. even though, a similar argument follows for whilst n is even. ) As we've seen all through lots of our different examples, there are circumstances to contemplate: Case 1: If we don't use the sting vw, then we're compelled into utilizing the sting uv (to account for the vertex v) and the sting xw (to account for the vertex w).
