Recurrence and Fibonacci sequence
Hi. I have this problem that im stuck on.
Define a sequence
by the recurrence
for
. Subject to the initial values
,
. Let
denote the Fibonacci sequence.
a) Write out explicitly _{n=0,...,10} )
I think this is easy.
{2,1,3,4,7,11,18,29,47,76}
b) Prove that
, 
How do I go about it?
I know
and
and
and
So if
,
, so it looks like its true.But how do I prove it explicitly?\
c) Let
denote the golden ratio. Show ^{-n})
I'm just a bit lost in this one...
d) The Fibonacci sequence counts pavings by monomers and dimers of an n-board. Conjecture what sort of pavings the sequence
counts?Draw the objects corresponding to
.


But I'm not quite sure what it counts...
Any help would be great. Thank-you so much!!
