Using Elementary Techniques to Characterize the Relationship Between Wythoff's Game and the Golden Ratio

History and Overview 2023-10-13 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

Wythoff's game is a modification of the well-known game of ``nim." Wythoff's game, which does not resemble the Fibonacci sequence, has direct relation to the Golden ratio. We will explore the sequence behind this surprising relationship, and consider the implications of our elementary methods.
