NAME

6       Math::NumSeq::Perrin -- Perrin sequence
7

SYNOPSIS

9        use Math::NumSeq::Perrin;
10        my $seq = Math::NumSeq::Perrin->new;
11        my ($i, $value) = $seq->next;
12

DESCRIPTION

14       The Perrin sequence,
15
16           3, 0, 2, 3, 2, 5, 5, 7, 10, 12, 17, 22, 29, 39, 51, etc
17
18       which is the recurrence
19
20           P(i) = P(i-2) + P(i-3)
21
22       starting from 3,0,2.  So for example 29 is 12+17.
23
24           12, 17, 22, 29
25
26            |   |       ^
27            |   |       |

FUNCTIONS

31       See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::NumSeq for behaviour common to all sequence
32       classes.
33
34       "$seq = Math::NumSeq::Perrin->new (length => $integer)"
35           Create and return a new sequence object.
36
37   Random Access
38       "$value = $seq->ith($i)"
39           Return the $i'th value from the sequence.
40
41       "$i = $seq->value_to_i_estimate($value)"
42           Return an estimate of the i corresponding to $value.
