Fibonorial Explained

In mathematics, the Fibonorial, also called the Fibonacci factorial, where is a nonnegative integer, is defined as the product of the first positive Fibonacci numbers, i.e.

{n!}F:=

n
\prod
i=1

Fi,n\ge0,

where is the th Fibonacci number, and gives the empty product (defined as the multiplicative identity, i.e. 1).

The Fibonorial is defined analogously to the factorial . The Fibonorial numbers are used in the definition of Fibonomial coefficients (or Fibonacci-binomial coefficients) similarly as the factorial numbers are used in the definition of binomial coefficients.

Asymptotic behaviour

The series of fibonorials is asymptotic to a function of the golden ratio

\varphi

:

n!F\simC

\varphin
5n/2
.

Here the fibonorial constant (also called the fibonacci factorial constant[1])

C

is defined by

C=

infty
\prod
k=1

(1-ak)

, where
a=-1
\varphi2
and

\varphi

is the golden ratio.

An approximate truncated value of

C

is 1.226742010720 (see for more digits).
