Much has been written about the golden ratio $\phi=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$ and this strange number appears mysteriously in many mathematical calculations. In this article, we review the appearance of this number in the graph theory. More…
Hitherto only a base 5 BBP-type formula is known for $\sqrt 5\log\phi$, where \mbox{$\phi=(\sqrt 5+1)/2$}, the golden ratio, ( i.e. Formula 83 of the April 2013 edition of Bailey's Compendium of \mbox{BBP-type} formulas). In this paper we…
It is a well known result that for $\beta\in(1,\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2})$ and $x\in(0,\frac{1}{\beta-1})$ there exists uncountably many $(\epsilon_{i})_{i=1}^{\infty}\in {0,1}^{\mathbb{N}}$ such that…
It is known that the golden ratio $\alpha =\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$ has many applications in geometry. In this paper we consider some geometric properties of finite Blaschke products related to the golden ratio.
We show among others that the formula: $$ \lfloor n + \log_{\Phi}\{\sqrt{5}(\log_{\Phi}(\sqrt{5}n) + n) -5 + \frac{3}{n}\} - 2 \rfloor (n \geq 2), $$ (where $\Phi$ denotes the golden ratio and $\lfloor \rfloor$ denotes the integer part)…
We write out relations between the base of natural logarithms ($e$), the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter ($\pi$), the golden ratios ($\Phi_p$) of the additive $p$-sequences, and the ratio of the diagonal of a square…
Let $\alpha=(1+\sqrt 5)/2$, the golden ratio, and $\beta=-1/\alpha=(1 - \sqrt 5)/2$. Let $F_n$ and $L_n$ be the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, defined by $F_n=(\alpha^n -\beta^n)/\sqrt 5$ and $L_n=\alpha^n + \beta^n$, for all non-negative…
By expressing Fibonacci and Lucas numbers in terms of the powers of the golden ratio, $\alpha=(1+\sqrt 5)/2$ and its inverse, $\beta=-1/\alpha=(1-\sqrt 5)/2$, a multitude of Fibonacci and Lucas identities have been developed in the…
On each nonorientable surface of odd genus $g \geq 5$, we give a mapping class whose dilatation on an invariant subsurface is the golden ratio.
Although many series exist for $\pi$ and $\pi^2$, very few are known for $\pi^3$. In this article, we derive, using a trigonometric identity obtained by Euler, two representations of $\pi^3$ involving infinite sums and the golden ratio. The…
We derive interesting arctangent identities involving the golden ratio, Fibonacci numbers and Lucas numbers. Binary BBP-type formulas for the arctangents of certain odd powers of the golden ratio are also derived, for the first time in the…
In this paper we obtain some novel identities involving trigonometric functions. Let $n$ be any positive odd integer. We show that $$\sum_{r=0}^{n-1}\frac1{1+\sin2\pi\frac{x+r}n+\cos2\pi\frac{x+r}n}…
We show that the geometric aspect ratio of the Twin Dragon equals $1/\varphi$, where $\varphi = (1+\sqrt{5})/2$ is the golden ratio. The result follows by solving the covariance fixed-point equation for the self-similar measure, which…
We prove that five ways to define entry A086377 in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences do lead to the same integer sequence.
\begin{abstract} $\pi$, the ratio between a circumference and is radius, is an irrational transcendental number. Fractal analysis is used here to show that $\pi$\textquoteright{s} digit sequence corresponds to a uniformly distributed random…
This paper presents a detailed, self-contained proof of a BBP-type formula for $\pi^2$ expressed in the golden ratio base, $\phi$. The formula was discovered empirically by the author in 2004. The proof presented herein is built upon a…
A re-calculation of a known family of formulas of PI is carried out, revisiting the old Archimedes' algorithm. This allows to identify a general family equation and three new simple formulas of Pi in terms of the golden ratio PHI in the…
In 1987, R. B. Paris uses the analytic function \[\label{main} g(w)=\lim_{n\to\infty}(2\varphi)^n\biggl(\underbrace{\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1+...\sqrt{1+w}}}}_n-\varphi\biggr),\ \ \ \varphi=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}2, \] to estimate the convergence of nested…
A class of log-trigonometric integrals are evaluated in terms of elliptic functions. From this, by using the elliptic integral singular values, one can obtain closed form evaluations of integrals such as \[…
In this note, we present some basic properties of $q$-Fibonacci numbers and their relationship to the $q$-golden ratio and Catalan numbers. We then use this relationship to give a short proof of a combinatorial identity.
