Description

  • This function gives the Lucas series of the numbers.
  • Lucas numbers are similar to the Fibonacci numberss.
  • It is generated by added the last two numbers in the series.
  • In Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle LUCAS(n), n } is the numbers position, which is used to displaying the numbers in the given range.
  • The difference between Lucas and Fibonacci numbers are with the first two terms Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle L_0=2} and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle L_1=1 } , but Failed to parse (Conversion error.

  • The Lucas numbers are defined by: Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle L_n=\begin{cases} 2 if n=0 \\ 1 if n=1 \\ L_{n-1}+L_{n-2} if n>1 \end{cases}}
  • The sequence of Lucas numbers is 2,1,3,4,7, 11,18,29,......
  • The relation between Lucas and Fibonacci numbers are: Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle L_n=F_n+2F_{n-1} } and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle F_n=\frac{L_{n-1}+L_{n+1}}{5}}

where L is the Lucas series with Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle L_n} is the nth Lucas number and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle F_n } is the nth Fibonacci number.

   This function will give the result as error when  n is nonnumeric or n < 0
