How to add two natural numbers in base phi

Number Theory 2020-02-06 v1

Abstract

In the base phi representation any natural number is written uniquely as a sum of powers of the golden mean with coefficients 0 and 1, where it is required that the product of two consecutive digits is always 0. In this self-contained paper we give a new, and short proof of the recursive structure of the base phi representations of the natural numbers.
