    I'm no vi expert, but I think it's Press esc, then w (to write) and q (to quit) You should probably examine vi tutorials, such as http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/UnixAndC/Editors/ViIntro.html

To save, press:



:w



That is, the 'colon' key, then the 'w' key. Then the enter key.



To save and quit, hold the shift key, and hit 'z' twice.



To quit without saving, hit:



:q!



Then the enter key.

            Is this a new Fibonacci Identity?

            Image
            6 1 $begingroup$ I have found the following Fibonacci Identity (and proved it). If $F_n$ denotes the nth Fibonacci Number, we have the following identity begin{equation} F_{n-r+h}F_{n+k+g+1} - F_{n-r+g}F_{n+k+h+1} = (-1)^{n+r+h+1} F_{g-h}F_{k+r+1} end{equation} where $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ , $r leq n$ , $h leq g$ , and $n, g, k in mathbb{N}$ . It is not too hard to show that this identity subsumes Cassini's Identity, Catalan's Identity, Vajda's Idenity, and d'Ocagne's identity to name a few. I have done a pretty thorough literature review, and I have not found anything like this, but I am still wondering if anyone has seen this identity before? I found this by accident after noticing some patterns in some analysis work I was doing, so if this is already known I would be curious to see w...
