|
<p>The Fibonacci functions <code>mpz_fib_ui</code> and <code>mpz_fib2_ui</code> are designed
|
|
for calculating isolated <em>F[n]</em> or <em>F[n]</em>,<em>F[n-1]</em>
|
|
values efficiently.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For small <em>n</em>, a table of single limb values in <code>__gmp_fib_table</code> is
|
|
used. On a 32-bit limb this goes up to <em>F[47]</em>, or on a 64-bit limb
|
|
up to <em>F[93]</em>. For convenience the table starts at <em>F[-1]</em>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Beyond the table, values are generated with a binary powering algorithm,
|
|
calculating a pair <em>F[n]</em> and <em>F[n-1]</em> working from high to
|
|
low across the bits of <em>n</em>. The formulas used are
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">F[2k+1] = 4*F[k]^2 - F[k-1]^2 + 2*(-1)^k
|
|
F[2k-1] = F[k]^2 + F[k-1]^2
|
|
|
|
F[2k] = F[2k+1] - F[2k-1]
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>At each step, <em>k</em> is the high <em>b</em> bits of <em>n</em>. If the next bit
|
|
of <em>n</em> is 0 then <em>F[2k]</em>,<em>F[2k-1]</em> is used, or if
|
|
it’s a 1 then <em>F[2k+1]</em>,<em>F[2k]</em> is used, and the process
|
|
repeated until all bits of <em>n</em> are incorporated. Notice these formulas
|
|
require just two squares per bit of <em>n</em>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>It’d be possible to handle the first few <em>n</em> above the single limb table
|
|
with simple additions, using the defining Fibonacci recurrence <em>F[k+1]=F[k]+F[k-1]</em>, but this is not done since it usually
|
|
turns out to be faster for only about 10 or 20 values of <em>n</em>, and
|
|
including a block of code for just those doesn’t seem worthwhile. If they
|
|
really mattered it’d be better to extend the data table.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Using a table avoids lots of calculations on small numbers, and makes small
|
|
<em>n</em> go fast. A bigger table would make more small <em>n</em> go fast, it’s
|
|
just a question of balancing size against desired speed. For GMP the code is
|
|
kept compact, with the emphasis primarily on a good powering algorithm.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><code>mpz_fib2_ui</code> returns both <em>F[n]</em> and <em>F[n-1]</em>, but
|
|
<code>mpz_fib_ui</code> is only interested in <em>F[n]</em>. In this case the last
|
|
step of the algorithm can become one multiply instead of two squares. One of
|
|
the following two formulas is used, according as <em>n</em> is odd or even.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">F[2k] = F[k]*(F[k]+2F[k-1])
|
|
|
|
F[2k+1] = (2F[k]+F[k-1])*(2F[k]-F[k-1]) + 2*(-1)^k
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p><em>F[2k+1]</em> here is the same as above, just rearranged to be a
|
|
multiply. For interest, the <em>2*(-1)^k</em> term both here and above
|
|
can be applied just to the low limb of the calculation, without a carry or
|
|
borrow into further limbs, which saves some code size. See comments with
|
|
<code>mpz_fib_ui</code> and the internal <code>mpn_fib2_ui</code> for how this is done.
