Motivated by the study of the crossing number of graphs, it is shown that, for trees, the sum of the products of the degrees of the end-vertices of all edges has an upper bound in terms of the sum of all vertex degrees to the power of…
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.
Based on artistic interpretations, art professor Christopher Bartlett (Towson University, USA) suggested introducing a new mathematical constant related to the golden ratio. He called it the chi ratio, as chi follows phi in the Greek…
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…
We introduce a new combinatorial game, named Triangle Game. In this game, a directed $3$-cycle graph is given, and tokens are placed on each vertex. The player chooses an edge and takes at least one token from the initial vertex. At 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…
It is conjectured that there is a converging sequence of some generalized Fibonacci ratios, given the difference between consecutive ratios, such as the Golden Ratio, $\varphi^1$, and the next golden ratio $\varphi^2$. Moreover, the graphic…
We give two proofs of the identity $$\sqrt{\frac{\cos\frac{2\pi}{5}} {\cos\frac{\pi}{5}}}+\sqrt{\frac{\cos\frac{\pi}{5}} {\cos\frac{2\pi}{5}} }=\sqrt{5},$$ using and not using the gold ratio.
The golden ratio is usually shrouded in mystique and mystery, however, showing its emergence from a familiar geometric setting makes it a more natural phenomenon. In this work, we present a new theorem connecting the Tangent Secant theorem…
The connective constant $\mu(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the exponential growth rate of the number of self-avoiding walks starting at a given vertex. We investigate the validity of the inequality $\mu \ge \phi$ for infinite, transitive, simple,…
The problem of the universal form of the size spectrum is analyzed. The half-widths of two wings of spectrum is introduced and it is shown that their ratio is very close to the golden fraction. In appendix it is shown that behind the golden…
Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio can be found in nearly all domains of Science, appearing when self-organization processes are at play and/or expressing minimum energy configurations. Several non-exhaustive examples are given in…
Expansions in noninteger bases often appear in number theory and probability theory, and they are closely connected to ergodic theory, measure theory and topology. For two-letter alphabets the golden ratio plays a special role: in smaller…
The golden ratio and Fibonacci numbers are found to occur in various aspects of nature. We discuss the occurrence of this ratio in an interesting physical problem concerning center of masses in two dimensions. The result is shown to be…
In this paper we introduce and study nets and sequences constructed in an irrational base, focusing on the case of a base given by the golden ratio $\phi$. We provide a complete framework to study equidistribution properties of nets in base…
For an integer $n\geq 1$, consider the $n$-th metallic number $\phi_n=\frac{n+\sqrt{n^2+4}}{2}$ (e.g. $\phi_1$ is the golden number) and denote by $[\phi_n]_q$ its $q$-deformation in the sense of S. Morier-Genoud and V. Ovsienko. This is an…
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…
A statistical study on 565 works of art of different great painters was done and it was calculated the ratio of the 2 sides of a paintings. Assuming that all the painters under discussion enter in a statistics with equal weights it is shown…
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…
