Exercise 1.19: There is a clever algorithm for
computing the Fibonacci numbers in a logarithmic number of steps. Recall the
transformation of the state variables
a
and
b
in the fib-iter
process of 1.2.2:
a
a
+
b
and
b
a
.
Call this transformation
T
, and observe that applying
T
over and over
again
n
times, starting with 1 and 0, produces the pair
Fib
(
n
+
1
)
and
Fib
(
n
)
. In other words, the Fibonacci numbers are produced
by applying
T
n
, the
n
th
power of the transformation
T
,
starting with the pair (1, 0). Now consider
T
to be the special case of
p
=
0
and
q
=
1
in a family of transformations
T
p
q
,
where
T
p
q
transforms the pair
(
a
,
b
)
according to
a
b
q
+
a
q
+
a
p
and
b
b
p
+
a
q
.
Show that if we apply such a transformation
T
p
q
twice, the
effect is the same as using a single transformation
T
p
q
of the
same form, and compute
p
and
q
in terms of
p
and
q
. This
gives us an explicit way to square these transformations, and thus we can
compute
T
n
using successive squaring, as in the fast-expt
procedure. Put this all together to complete the following procedure, which
runs in a logarithmic number of steps:41
(define (fib n)
(fib-iter 1 0 0 1 n))
(define (fib-iter a b p q count)
(cond ((= count 0)
b)
((even? count)
(fib-iter a
b
⟨??⟩ ;compute p'
⟨??⟩ ;compute q'
(/ count 2)))
(else
(fib-iter (+ (* b q)
(* a q)
(* a p))
(+ (* b p)
(* a q))
p
q
(- count 1)))))
