Applications of Fibonacci Numbers: Volume 7

by G.E. Bergum (Editor), Andreas N. Philippou (Editor), Alwyn F. Horadam (Editor)

Overview

This volume contains the proceedings of the Seventh International Research Conference on Fibonacci Numbers and their Applications. It includes a carefully refereed collection of papers dealing with number patterns, linear recurrences and the application of the Fibonacci Numbers to probability, statistics, differential equations, cryptography, computer science and elementary number theory. This volume provides a platform for recent discoveries and encourages further research. It is a continuation of the work presented in the previously published proceedings of the earlier conferences, and shows the growing interest in, and importance of, the pure and applied aspects of Fibonacci Numbers in many different areas of science.
Audience: This book will be of interest to those whose work involves number theory, statistics and probability, algebra, numerical analysis, group theory and generalisations.
