    So I see some people choosing a=b=½, but you can have even more fun with any conjugate complex numbers with real part ½. Interestingly, the negative 3rd roots of unity have this property.

    could we apply these principals to the complex plane? ie could a be (0.5 + 0.5i) and b could be (0.5-0.5i)? what would we see if we iterated on these values? 😊

    Whats interesting is that if you add up all the numbers in the nth row in Pascal's Triangle, you get 2^n For example, 1 3 3 1 is the third row and 1+3+3+1 = 2^3 = 8. But at the -1st row at 4:18, you get zeros on the left and 1-1+1-1+... on the right, which is Grandi's series which "evaluates" to 1/2, which is 2^-1, and I can assume that the other negative rows "evaluate" to 2^n as well.

  • @Sataaa
    @Sataaa Před 3 dny

    Is there a pretty way to define a and b to make it so when abs(x) > 1 then a would be 0 and b would be 1 and vice versa as in to fix the possible values of a and b depending only on x? Any of them can be defined like a = 1 - b (swapping them works just as well, in this case if we restrict b to be 1 or 0, it would work). But how would we calculate b like that using just the value of x? Probably it would be using limits to make sure things go to 0

    I've investigated this myself, but it didn't occur to me that there could be infinitely many solutions. There is, however, as far as I can tell, only one symmetrical solution: −1½ ½ 0 0 ½ −1½ −1 ½ 0 ½ −1 ½ −½ ½ ½ −½ ½ 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 1 0 0 0 I have a related question. Have you ever come across variations of Pascal's triangle, such as one with 0, 1, 2, 0 in a row? 0 1 2 0 0 1 3 2 0 0 1 4 5 2 0 0 1 5 9 7 2 0 0 1 6 14 16 9 2 0 0 1 7 20 30 25 11 2 0 This particular variation has some fine properties, such as encompassing the Fibonacci numbers (descending shallow diagonals), the Lucas numbers (ascending shallow diagonals), the natural numbers, the odd numbers, the natural squares, the sums of the natural squares, and a host of other sequences. Perhaps more significantly, though, the individual elements of the shallow ascending diagonals provide the coefficients for polynomials that define L[2n], L[3n], L[4n], etc., in terms of L[n], the nth Lucas number. (Please excuse the formatting. Subscripts are fiddly and almost illegible in YT comments.) I'll give you a couple of illustrative examples: For even n, L[5n] = (L[n])^5 − 5(L[n])^3 + 5(L[n]). E.g., L[2] = 3; L[10] = 3^5 − 5 • 3^3 + 5 • 3 = 243 − 135 + 15 = 123. For odd n, change the minus to a plus. E.g.; L[3] = 4; L[15] = 4^5 + 5 • 4^3 + 5 • 4 = 1024 + 320 + 15 = 1364. Pascal's triangle can do similar things for Fibonacci numbers, but the polynomials are in terms of Lucas numbers, L[n], with all coefficients multiplied by F[n]. I won't bore you with the details.

    I've always extended Pascal's Triangle in my mind as if there was an extremely tiny, infinitesimal chance that there was a glitch in the summation. So you start with an infinite hexagonal grid of 0s, each 0 the sum of two other zeros. Except randomly, at some point in the infinite expanse...there's a "glitch" and 0+0=1. And from that, the entire Pascal's Triangle is generated. Similarly: the Fibonacci series.
