TWO ASPECTS OF A GENERALIZED FIBONACCI SEQUENCE
2015
Journal of the Indonesian Mathematical Society
In this paper we study the so-called generalized Fibonacci sequence: x n+2 = αx n+1 + βxn, n ∈ N. We derive an open domain around the origin of the parameter space where the sequence converges to 0. The limiting behavior on the boundary of this domain are: convergence to a nontrivial limit, k-periodic (k ∈ N), or quasi-periodic. We use the ratio of two consecutive terms of the sequence to construct a rational approximation for algebraic numbers of the form: √ r, r ∈ Q. Using a similar idea, we
