Fibonacci Chain Polynomials: Identities from Self-Similarity

Condensed Matter 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Fibonacci chains are special diatomic, harmonic chains with uniform nearest neighbour interaction and two kinds of atoms (mass-ratio rr) arranged according to the self-similar binary Fibonacci sequence ABAABABA...ABAABABA..., which is obtained by repeated substitution of AABA \to AB and BAB \to A. The implications of the self-similarity of this sequence for the associated orthogonal polynomial system which govern these Fibonacci chains with fixed mass-ratio rr are studied.
