I'm wondering if this page should be merged with Negafibonacci. Thoughts? Jaswenso (talk) 08:58, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be moved, since WP uses a naming system that is case sensitive except for the first letter. RJFJR (talk) 01:42, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Example

Something is wrong with the example. The description says all codes end in 11 but the code for zero is 01. RJFJR (talk) 01:42, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have edited the article. Zero simply cannot be encoded. Zero is represented as the empty sum, but you need at least one term to terminate a code, just as with normal Fibonacci coding. Unfortunately I can't find any sources that aren't copies of Wikipedia or anything better. This is one sad article. --Jonathanvt (talk) 09:50, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
