COMMENT

The number of walks of length n with step set {NE,SE,NW} confined to the quarter plane is asymptotic to Alpha*(3^n) + O(8^(n/2)), where Alpha is a constant given by 1-2SUM[n>=0]((-1)^n)/F(2n)F(2n+2) ~ 0.1731788836... [Corollary 2.7 of Mishna reference, p. 9].

Mishna and Rechnitzer use non-standard indices for Fibonacci numbers. - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Nov 04 2007

FORMULA

1-2*SUM[n>=0]((-1)^n)/F(2n)F(2n+2) where F(n) is the Fibonacci sequence. 1-2*SUM[n>=0]((-1)^n)/A000045(2n+1)*A000045(2n+3). - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Nov 04 2007

EXAMPLE

MAPLE

Digits := 100 : F := proc(n) combinat[fibonacci](n+1) ; end: s := 0 : for n from 0 do s := s+(-1)^n/F(2*n)/F(2*n+2) ; print(1.-2.*s) ; od: - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Nov 04 2007
