Comment calculer le nieme nombre de Tribonacci
Resume of a conference given in 1993 (Universite Bordeaux I, LaBRI).
1/2 1/3 1/2 1/3 n 1/2 1/3
(1/3 (19 + 3 33 ) + 1/3 (19 - 3 33 ) + 1/3) (586 + 102 33 )
3 —————————————————————————————————————-
1/2 2/3 1/2 1/3
(586 + 102 33 ) + 4 - 2 (586 + 102 33 )
To get the actual n'th Tribonacci number just round the result to the nearest integer.
Here is the formula 'lprinted'…
3*(1/3*(19+3*33^(1/2))^(1/3)+1/3*(19-3*33^(1/2))^(1/3)+1/3)^n/((586+102*33^(1 /2))^(2/3)+4-2*(586+102*33^(1/2))^(1/3))*(586+102*33^(1/2))^(1/3);
