Updated on Friday 15th March 2019 at 5 pm in the light of comments received over the last 24 hours.



The original question was; given the well known variation of Binet's Formula:
$$F_n = frac{phi^n - (-phi)^{-n}}{sqrt{5}}$$



Derive an elegant expression, should one exist, for;
$$F_{log (n)} + F_{log(n)-1}$$



Of course,
$$phi=frac{1+sqrt{5}}{2}$$



Wolfgang Kais has pointed out that this is going to run into technical issues with raising negative numbers to the power of $log(n)$.



Consequently, initially at least, I've been looking instead at
$$F_{f(n)} + F_{f(n)-1}$$
where the function $f$ is sufficiently well behaved to not run into such issues.



In this case,



$$ (sqrt{5})(F_{f(n)} + F_{f(n)-1})=phi^{f(n)}-(-phi)^{-f(n)}+ phi^{f(n)-1}-(-phi)^{-(f(n)-1)}$$
Using the two equivalent facts that
$$1-phi=- frac{1}{phi} :or: phi=1+frac{1}{phi}$$



I proceeded as follows;



$$ (sqrt{5})(F_{f(n)} + F_{f(n)-1})=phi^{f(n)}-big(-frac{1}{phi}big)^{f(n)}+ phi^{f(n)} times phi^{-1}-big(-frac{1}{phi}big)^{(f(n)-1)}$$



$$ =phi^{f(n)}-(1-phi)^{f(n)}+ frac{phi^{f(n)}}{phi}-big(-frac{1}{phi}big)^{f(n)} times big(-frac{1}{phi}big)^{-1}$$



$$ =phi^{f(n)}big(1+frac{1}{phi}big)-(1-phi)^{f(n)}-(1-phi)^{f(n)} times (-phi)$$
$$ =phi times phi^{f(n)} - (1-phi) times (1-phi)^{f(n)}$$



Wolfgang Kais suggested immediately starting with the Fibonacci recurrence relation
$$F_m=F_{m-1}+F_{m-2}$$
from which I deduce that
$$F_{f(n)}+F_{f(n)-1}=F_{f(n)+1}$$
Now, applying the variation on Binet's Formula,
$$F_{f(n)+1} = frac{phi^{f(n)+1} - (-phi)^{-(f(n)+1)}}{sqrt{5}}$$



$$(sqrt{5})(F_{f(n)+1}) = phi times phi^{f(n)} - big(-frac{1}{phi}big)^{f(n)+1}$$
$$ = phi times phi^{f(n)} - (1-phi)^{f(n)+1}$$
$$ =phi times phi^{f(n)} - (1-phi) times (1-phi)^{f(n)}$$



which is the same result as obtained previously which, if nothing else, shows that the variation on Binet's formula satisfies the Fibonacci Recurrence relation.



I'm curious to know if
$$ F_{f(n)+1} = frac{phi times phi^{f(n)}}{sqrt{5}} - frac{(1-phi) times (1-phi)^{f(n)}}{sqrt{5}}$$
is of any use, and is it the best that can be done ?



Possibly I've exhausted what can usefully be done with this question, as I can't see the point of introducing the $log(n)$ function, given the technical hurdles it immediately throws up.



However, any further thoughts are most welcome.

    As you can't take a negative number to a non-integer power, $log(n)$ will have to be an integer, and so $F_{log (n)} + F_{log(n)-1} = F_{log(n)+1}$.

    @Wolfgang Kais : Of course ! And if I use that in the Binet formula I can get to $$F_{log (n)} + F_{log(n)-1} = frac{ phi times phi^{log (n)}-(1-phi) times (1- phi)^{log(n)}}{sqrt{5}}$$ which is so similar to the expression I mention in my question that I think I have a single minus sign error and so have $phi^2$ instead of $(1 - phi)$. I'll try to reconcile the two methods tomorrow. Thanks !

    You can also try and use the identity $$x^{log a}=a^{log x}.$$ Unfortunately that requires careful interpretation of complex powers unless $a$ and $x$ are both positive real numbers. It does give you a simple estimate for the sum.

@MartinHansen
Sorry i cant comment as i have reputation less than 50



$$F_{log (n)} + F_{log(n)-1} = frac{ phi^{logn}-(-phi)^{-log(n)}}{sqrt5}+frac{ phi^{log(n)-1}-(-phi)^{-(log(n)-1)}}{sqrt5}$$
$${log (n)} + F_{log(n)-1} = frac{ phi^{log(n)}+(phi)^{(log(n)-1)}}{sqrt5}+frac{ phi^{-log(n)}+(phi)^{-(log(n)-1)}}{sqrt5}$$



as in asymptotic time complexity we tends to ignore constants
$${log (n)} + F_{log(n)-1} = { phi^{log(n)}+(phi)^{(log(n)-1)}}+{phi^{-log(n)}+(phi)^{-(log(n)-1)}}$$
How can i proceed further from here

    Sorry i cant comment as i have reputation less than 50



    $$F_{log (n)} + F_{log(n)-1} = frac{ phi^{logn}-(-phi)^{-log(n)}}{sqrt5}+frac{ phi^{log(n)-1}-(-phi)^{-(log(n)-1)}}{sqrt5}$$
    $${log (n)} + F_{log(n)-1} = frac{ phi^{log(n)}+(phi)^{(log(n)-1)}}{sqrt5}+frac{ phi^{-log(n)}+(phi)^{-(log(n)-1)}}{sqrt5}$$



    as in asymptotic time complexity we tends to ignore constants
    $${log (n)} + F_{log(n)-1} = { phi^{log(n)}+(phi)^{(log(n)-1)}}+{phi^{-log(n)}+(phi)^{-(log(n)-1)}}$$
    How can i proceed further from here
