COMMENT

This is an example of a highly compressed sequence. As a result, it can be off by one. The uncompressed version goes like this: 2, 21, 209, 2090, 20899, 208988, 2089877, 20898764, 208987640, 2089876403, ... (see A068070).. Fibonacci[10] = 55 has 2 digits, Fibonacci[100] = 354224848179261915075 has 21 digits and so on.

Equal to decimal expansion of ArcCsch[2]/log[10] = 0.2089876..., Eric Weisstein (eric(AT)weisstein.com), Aug 24, 2004 [Corrected by Hugh Warrington (hughwarringtonNOSPAM(AT)gmail.com), Mar 03 2005]

Considering the very good approximation F(n)=5^(-1/2)*phi^n, the number of digits of F(10^n) is given by int(log10(F(10^n)))=int(-1/2*log10(5)+10^n*log10(phi)). Similary L(n) tends to phi^n, so the number of digits of L(10^n) is given by int(10^n*log10(phi)). Both numbers can differ at most by 1. F(n) and L(n) denote the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, resp. - Christoph Pacher (christoph.pacher(AT)arcs.ac.at), Nov 22 2006
