His best-known work is the Fibonacci sequence, in which each new number is the sum of the two numbers preceding it. When various operations and manipulations are performed on the numbers of this sequence, beautiful and incredible patterns begin to emerge. The numbers from this sequence are manifested throughout nature in the forms and designs of many plants and animals and have also been reproduced in various manners in art, architecture, and music. This work simulated the Pascal triangle generator to produce the Fibonacci numbers or sequence. The Fibonacci numbers are generated by simply taken the sums of the "shallow" diagonals (shown in red) of Pascal's triangle. The Fibonacci numbers occur in the sums of "shallow" diagonals in Pascal's triangle. This Pascal triangle generator is a combinatoric algorithm that outlines the steps necessary for generating the elements and their positions in the rows of a Pascal triangle.

  • The Deep Learning Solutions on Lossless Compression Methods for Alleviating Data Load on Iot Nodes in Smart Cities
    sensors Article The Deep Learning Solutions on Lossless Compression Methods for Alleviating Data Load on IoT Nodes in Smart Cities Ammar Nasif *, Zulaiha Ali Othman and Nor Samsiah Sani Center for Artificial Intelligence Technology (CAIT), Faculty of Information Science & Technology, University Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi 43600, Malaysia; [email protected] (Z.A.O.); [email protected] (N.S.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Networking is crucial for smart city projects nowadays, as it offers an environment where people and things are connected. This paper presents a chronology of factors on the development of smart cities, including IoT technologies as network infrastructure. Increasing IoT nodes leads to increasing data flow, which is a potential source of failure for IoT networks. The biggest challenge of IoT networks is that the IoT may have insufficient memory to handle all transaction data within the IoT network. We aim in this paper to propose a potential compression method for reducing IoT network data traffic. Therefore, we investigate various lossless compression algorithms, such as entropy or dictionary-based algorithms, and general compression methods to determine which algorithm or method adheres to the IoT specifications. Furthermore, this study conducts compression experiments using entropy (Huffman, Adaptive Huffman) and Dictionary (LZ77, LZ78) as well as five different types of datasets of the IoT data traffic. Though the above algorithms can alleviate the IoT data traffic, adaptive Huffman gave the best compression algorithm. Therefore, in this paper, Citation: Nasif, A.; Othman, Z.A.; we aim to propose a conceptual compression method for IoT data traffic by improving an adaptive Sani, N.S.

  • The Generalized Principle of the Golden Section and Its Applications in Mathematics, Science, and Engineering
    Chaos, Solitons and Fractals 26 (2005) 263–289 www.elsevier.com/locate/chaos The Generalized Principle of the Golden Section and its applications in mathematics, science, and engineering A.P. Stakhov International Club of the Golden Section, 6 McCreary Trail, Bolton, ON, Canada L7E 2C8 Accepted 14 January 2005 Abstract The ‘‘Dichotomy Principle’’ and the classical ‘‘Golden Section Principle’’ are two of the most important principles of Nature, Science and also Art. The Generalized Principle of the Golden Section that follows from studying the diagonal sums of the Pascal triangle is a sweeping generalization of these important principles. This underlies the foundation of ‘‘Harmony Mathematics’’, a new proposed mathematical direction. Harmony Mathematics includes a number of new mathematical theories: an algorithmic measurement theory, a new number theory, a new theory of hyperbolic functions based on Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, and a theory of the Fibonacci and ‘‘Golden’’ matrices. These mathematical theories are the source of many new ideas in mathematics, philosophy, botanic and biology, electrical and computer science and engineering, communication systems, mathematical education as well as theoretical physics and physics of high energy particles.

They left science at such step where it was still far from perfect. It happened,probably,because Mathematicians paid attention to the higher parts of the Analysis. They neglected the beginnings and did not wish to work on such field,which they finished with one time and left it behind.

  • Survey on Inverted Index Compression Over Structured Data
    Volume 6, No. 3, May 2015 (Special Issue) ISSN No. 0976-5697 International Journal of Advanced Research in Computer Science RESEARCH PAPER Available Online at www.ijarcs.info Survey on Inverted Index Compression over Structured Data B.Usharani M.TanoojKumar Dept.of Computer Science and Engineering Dept.of ComputerScience and Engineering Andhra Loyola Institute of Engineering and Technology Andhra Loyola Institute of Engineering and Technology India India e-mail:[email protected] e-mail:[email protected] Abstract: A user can retrieve the information by providing a few keywords in the search engine. In the keyword search engines, the query is specified in the textual form. The keyword search allows casual users to access database information. In keyword search, the system has to provide a search over billions of documents stored on millions of computers. The index stores summary of information and guides the user to search for more detailed information. The major concept in the information retrieval(IR) is the inverted index. Inverted index is one of the design factors of the index data structures. Inverted index is used to access the documents according to the keyword search. Inverted index is normally larger in size ,many compression techniques have been proposed to minimize the storage space for inverted index. In this paper we propose the Huffman coding technique to compress the inverted index. Experiments on the performance of inverted index compression using Huffman coding proves that this technique requires minimum storage space as well as increases the key word search performance and reduces the time to evaluate the query.

Tech. Scholar, Department of Electronics and Communication, Swami Vivekanand College of Science & Technology, Bhopal, India1 Assistant Professor, Department of Electronics and Communication, Swami Vivekanand College of Science & Technology, Bhopal, India 2 ABSTRACT: Text and image data are important elements for information processing almost in all the computer applications. Uncompressed image or text data require high transmission bandwidth and significant storage capacity. Designing an efficient compression scheme is more critical with the recent growth of computer applications. Extended Golomb code, for integer representation is proposed and used as a part of Burrows-Wheeler compression algorithm to compress text data. The other four schemes are designed for image compression. Out of four, three schemes are based on Vector Quantization (VQ) method and the fourth scheme is based on Absolute Moment Block Truncation Coding (AMBTC). The proposed scheme is block prediction-residual block coding AMBTC (BP-RBCAMBTC). In this scheme an image is divided into non-overlapping image blocks of small size (4x4 pixels) each. Each image block is encoded using neighboring image blocks which have high correlation among IX them. BP-RBCAMBTC obtains better image quality and low bit rate than the recently proposed method based on BTC. KEYWORDS: Block Truncation Code (BTC), Vector Quantization, Golomb Code Vector I.

  • Lelewer and Hirschberg, "Data Compression"
    Data Compression DEBRA A. LELEWER and DANIEL S. HIRSCHBERG Department of Information and Computer Science, University of California, Irvine, California 92717 This paper surveys a variety of data compression methods spanning almost 40 years of research, from the work of Shannon, Fano, and Huffman in the late 1940s to a technique developed in 1986. The aim of data compression is to reduce redundancy in stored or communicated data, thus increasing effective data density. Data compression has important application in the areas of file storage and distributed systems. Concepts from information theory as they relate to the goals and evaluation of data compression methods are discussed briefly. A framework for evaluation and comparison of methods is constructed and applied to the algorithms presented. Comparisons of both theoretical and empirical natures are reported, and possibilities for future research are suggested Categories and Subject Descriptors: E.4 [Data]: Coding and Information Theory-data compaction and compression General Terms: Algorithms, Theory Additional Key Words and Phrases: Adaptive coding, adaptive Huffman codes, coding, coding theory, tile compression, Huffman codes, minimum-redundancy codes, optimal codes, prefix codes, text compression INTRODUCTION mation but whose length is as small as possible.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: a LOGIC SYSTEM for FIBONACCI
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: A LOGIC SYSTEM FOR FIBONACCI NUMBERS EQUIVALENT TO 64-BIT BINARY Jiani Shen, Master of Science, 2018 Thesis Directed By: Professor Robert W. Newcomb, Electrical & Computer Engineering Compared to the most commonly used binary computers, the Fibonacci computer has its own research values. Making study of Fibonacci radix system is of considerable importance to the Fibonacci computer. Most materials only explain how to use binary coefficients in Fibonacci base to represent positive integers and introduce a little about basic arithmetic on positive integers using complicated but incomplete methods. However, rarely have materials expanded the arithmetic to negative integers with an easier way. In this thesis, we first transfer the unsigned binary Fibonacci representation with minimal form(UBFR(min)) into the even-subscripted signed ternary Fibonacci representation(STFRe), which includes the negative integers and doubles the range over UBFR(min). Then, we develop some basic operations on both positive and negative integers by applying various properties of the Fibonacci sequence into arithmetic. We can set the arithmetic range equivalent to 64-bit binary as our daily binary computers, or whatever reasonable ranges we want.

    STUDIES ON GOPALA-HEMACHANDRA CODES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS. by Logan Childers December, 2020 Director of Thesis: Krishnan Gopalakrishnan, PhD Major Department: Computer Science Gopala-Hemachandra codes are a variation of the Fibonacci universal code and have ap- plications in data compression and cryptography. We study a specific parameterization of Gopala-Hemachandra codes and present several results pertaining to these codes. We show that GHa(n) always exists for n ≥ 1 when −2 ≥ a ≥ −4, meaning that these are universal codes. We develop two new algorithms to determine whether a GH code exists for a given a and n, and to construct them if they exist. We also prove that when a = −(4 + k) where k ≥ 1, that there are at most k consecutive integers for which GH codes do not exist. In 2014, Nalli and Ozyilmaz proposed a stream cipher based on GH codes. We show that this cipher is insecure and provide experimental results on the performance of our program that cracks this cipher. STUDIES ON GOPALA-HEMACHANDRA CODES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS.

Of ECE, Vasireddy Venkatadri Ins. Tech., Nambur, Guntur, AP, India 2 Professor & Head, Dept. Of ECE, Vasireddy Venkatadri Ins. Tech., Nambur, Guntur, AP, India Abstract: In the deep sub micrometer CMOS process technology, the interconnect resistance, length, and inter- wire capacitance are increasing significantly, which contribute to large on-chip interconnect propagation delay. Data transmitted over interconnect determine the propagation delay and the delay is very significant when adjacent wires are transitioning in opposite directions (i.e., crosstalk transitions) as compared to transitioning in the same direction. Propagation delay across long on-chip buses is significant when adjacent wires are transitioning in opposite direction (i.e., crosstalk transitions) as compared to transitioning in the same direction. By exploiting Fibonacci number system, we propose a family of Fibonacci coding techniques for crosstalk avoidance, relate them to some of the existing crosstalk avoidance techniques, and show how the encoding logic of one technique can be modified to generate code words of the other technique. Keywords: On-chip bus, crosstalk, Fibonacci coding. I. Introduction The advancement of very large scale integration (VLSI) technologies has been following Moore’s law for the past several decades: the number of transistors on an integrated circuit is doubling every two years and the channel length is scaling at the rate of 0.7/3 years.
