The best two-term underapproximation using numbers from Fibonacci-type sequences

Number Theory 2025-01-27 v1

Abstract

This paper studies the greedy two-term underapproximation of θ(0,1]\theta\in (0,1] using reciprocals of numbers from a Fibonacci-type sequence (cn)n=1(c_n)_{n=1}^\infty. We find the set of θ\theta whose greedy two-term underapproximation is the best among all two-term underapproximations using 1/cn1/c_n's. We then derive a neat description of the set when (cn)n=1(c_n)_{n=1}^\infty is the Fibonacci sequence or the Lucas sequence.
