NAME

6       Math::NumSeq::PisanoPeriod -- cycle length of Fibonacci numbers mod i
7

SYNOPSIS

9        use Math::NumSeq::PisanoPeriod;
10        my $seq = Math::NumSeq::PisanoPeriod->new;
11        my ($i, $value) = $seq->next;

DESCRIPTION

14       This is the length cycle of Fibonacci numbers modulo i.
15
16           1, 3, 8, 6, 20, 24, 16, 12, 24, 60, 10, 24, 28, 48, 40, ...
17           starting i=1
18
19       For example Fibonacci numbers modulo 4 repeat in a cycle of 6 numbers,
20       so value=6.
21
22          Fibonacci  0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,13,21,34,55,89,144,...
23          mod 4      0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 1, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 1, 0,...
24                     \--------------/  \--------------/  \---
25                   repeating cycle of 6
26
27       The Fibonaccis are determined by a pair F[i],F[i+1] and there can be at
28       most i*i many different pairs mod i, so there's always a finite
29       repeating period.  Since the Fibonaccis can go backwards as
30       F[i-1]=F[i+1]-F[i] the modulo sequence is purely periodic, so the
31       initial 0,1 is always part of the cycle.

FUNCTIONS

34       See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::NumSeq for behaviour common to all sequence
35       classes.
36
37       "$seq = Math::NumSeq::PisanoPeriod->new ()"
38           Create and return a new sequence object.
39
40   Random Access
41       "$value = $seq->ith($i)"
42           Return the Pisano period of $i.
