N=1,2,3,5,8,etc along the X axis is the Fibonacci numbers. N=4,7,11,18,etc along the Y=1 row is the Lucas numbers.

All rows have the Fibonacci style recurrence F(X+1) = F(X)+F(X-1). For example in the Y=2 row N=42 at X=4 is 16+26, the two values to its left.

N=1,4,6,9,12,etc along the Y axis is the "spectrum" of phi, the golden ratio, meaning its rounded down integer multiples.

phi = (sqrt(5)+1)/2
spectrum(k) = floor(phi*k)
N_Yaxis = Y + spectrum(Y+1)

For example the Y=5 row has N_Yaxis = 5+floor((5+1)*phi)=14. The recurrence starts as if there were values Y and spectrum(Y+1) to the left, and then N_Yaxis+spectrum(Y+1) in the X=1 column.

Every integer N from 1 upwards occurs precisely once in the table. The recurrence means in the rows N grows as roughly phi^X, the same as the Fibonacci numbers, so they become large quite quickly.

Zeckendorf Base

The N values are arranged according to how many trailing zero bits when N is represented in the Zeckendorf base. This base makes N a sum of Fibonacci numbers. At each stage the largest possible F is chosen, so the representation is unique. For example

F[0]=1, F[1]=2, F[2]=3, F[3]=5, etc

45 = 34 + 8 + 3
   = F[7] + F[4] + F[2]
   = 10010100       as bits

The array in Zeckendorf base is

  8  |  101010  1010100  10101000 101010000 1010100000 
  7  |  101001  1010010  10100100 101001000 1010010000 
  6  |  100101  1001010  10010100 100101000 1001010000 
  5  |  100001  1000010  10000100 100001000 1000010000 
  4  |   10101   101010   1010100  10101000  101010000 
  3  |   10001   100010   1000100  10001000  100010000 
  2  |    1001    10010    100100   1001000   10010000 
  1  |     101     1010     10100    101000    1010000 
Y=0  |       1       10       100      1000      10000 
     +--------------------------------------------------
           X=0        1         2         3          4

The X coordinate is the number of trailing zeros, the index of the lowest Fibonacci used in the sum. The Y coordinate is the index of the "odd" Zeckendorf remaining.

The Y index is formed by stripping the trailing zero bits, and the lowest 1, and then one more 0 above that. For example,

N = 45 = Zeck(10010100)
                  ^^^^ strip low zeros, lowest 1, and the 0 above
Y = Zeck(1001) = F[3]+F[0] = 5+1 = 6

The Zeckendorf form never has consecutive "11" bits, because after subtracting an F[k] the remainder is smaller than the immediately following F[k-1]. Numbers with no concecutive "11" are also called the fibbinary numbers (Math::NumSeq::Fibbinary).

Stripping of low zeros is similar to what the PowerArray does with low zero digits in an ordinary base such as binary. Doing it in the Zeckendorf base is like taking out powers of the golden ratio phi=1.618.

FUNCTIONS

See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::PlanePath for the behaviour common to all path classes.

$path = Math::PlanePath::WythoffArray->new ()

Create and return a new path object.

($x,$y) = $path->n_to_xy ($n)

Return the X,Y coordinates of point number $n on the path. Points begin at 1 and if $n < 0 then the return is an empty list.

$n = $path->xy_to_n ($x,$y)

Return the N point number at coordinates $x,$y. If $x<0 or $y<0 then there's no N and the return is undef.

N values grow rapidly with $x. Pass in a bignum type such as Math::BigInt for full precision.

($n_lo, $n_hi) = $path->rect_to_n_range ($x1,$y1, $x2,$y2)

The returned range is exact, meaning $n_lo and $n_hi are the smallest and biggest in the rectangle.

FORMULAS

Rectangle to N Range

Within each row increasing X is increasing N, and in each column increasing Y is increasing N. So in a rectangle the lower left corner is the minimum N and the upper right is the maximum N.

OEIS
