Fibonacci numbers, alternating parity sequences and faces of the tridiagonal Birkhoff polytope
نویسندگان
چکیده
We determine the number of alternating parity sequences that are subsequences of an increasing m-tuple of integers. For this and other related counting problems we find formulas that are combinations of Fibonacci numbers. These results are applied to determine, among other things, the number of vertices of any face of the polytope of tridiagonal doubly stochastic matrices.

On determinants of tridiagonal matrices with (−1, 1)-diagonal or superdiagonal in relation to Fibonacci numbers
The aim of the paper is to find some new determinants connected with Fibonacci numbers. We generalize the result provided in Strang’s book because we derive that two sequences of similar tridiagonal matrices are connected with Fibonacci numbers.

متن کاملToeplitz transforms of Fibonacci sequences
We introduce a matricial Toeplitz transform and prove that the Toeplitz transform of a second order recurrence sequence is another second order recurrence sequence. We investigate the injectivity of this transform and show how this distinguishes the Fibonacci sequence among other recurrence sequences. We then obtain new Fibonacci identities as an application of our transform.
متن کاملA Class of Convergent Series with Golden Ratio Based on Fibonacci Sequence
In this article, a class of convergent series based on Fibonacci sequence is introduced for which there is a golden ratio (i.e. $frac{1+sqrt 5}{2}),$ with respect to convergence analysis. A class of sequences are at first built using two consecutive numbers of Fibonacci sequence and, therefore, new sequences have been used in order to introduce a new class of series. All properties of the se...
متن کاملFormulas for the Volumes of the Polytope of Doubly-stochastic Matrices and Its Faces
We provide an explicit combinatorial formula for the volume of the polytope of n× n doubly-stochastic matrices, also known as the Birkhoff polytope. We do this through the description of a generating function for all the lattice points of the closely related polytope of n × n real non-negative matrices with all row and column sums equal to an integer t. We can in fact recover similar formulas f...
متن کاملThe Alternating Sign Matrix Polytope
The Birkhoff (permutation) polytope, Bn, consists of the n × n nonnegative doubly stochastic matrices, has dimension (n− 1)2, and has n2 facets. A new analogue, the alternating sign matrix polytope, ASMn, is introduced and characterized. Its vertices are the Qn−1 j=0 (3j+1)! (n+j)! n × n alternating sign matrices. It has dimension (n− 1)2, has 4[(n− 2)2 +1] facets, and has a simple inequality d...
