Given two numbers N and K. Find the number of ways to represent N as the sum of K Fibonacci numbers. 
Examples
 

Input : n = 12, k = 1 
Output : 0

Input : n = 13, k = 3
Output : 2
Explanation : 2 + 3 + 8, 3 + 5 + 5.  

 

Approach: The Fibonacci series is f(0)=1, f(1)=2 and f(i)=f(i-1)+f(i-2) for i>1. Let’s suppose F(x, k, n) be the number of ways to form the sum x using exactly k numbers from f(0), f(1), …f(n-1). To find a recurrence for F(x, k, n), notice that there are two cases: whether f(n-1) in the sum or not.
 

  • If f(n-1) is not in the sum, then x is formed as a sum using exactly k numbers from f(0), f(1), …, f(n-2).
  • If f(n-1) is in the sum, then the remaining x-f(n-1) is formed using exactly k-1 numbers from f(0), f(1), …, f(n-1). (Notice that f(n-1) is still included because duplicate numbers are allowed.).

So the recurrence relation will be: 
 

F(x, k, n)= F(x, k, n-1)+F(x-f(n-1), k-1, n)

Base cases: 
 

  • If k=0, then there are zero numbers from the series, so the sum can only be 0. Hence, F(0, 0, n)=1.
  • F(x, 0, n)=0, if x is not equals to 0.

Also, there are other cases that make F(x, k, n)=0, like the following: 
 

  • If k>0 and x=0 because having at least one positive number must result in a positive sum.
  • If k>0 and n=0 because there’s no possible choice of numbers left.
  • If x<0 because there’s no way to form a negative sum using a finite number of nonnegative numbers.

Below is the implementation of above approach:

// C++ implementation of above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// to store fibonacci numbers
// 42 second number in fibonacci series
// largest possible integer
int fib[43] = { 0 };
 
// Function to generate fibonacci series
void fibonacci()
{
    fib[0] = 1;
    fib[1] = 2;
    for (int i = 2; i < 43; i++)
        fib[i] = fib[i - 1] + fib[i - 2];
}
 
// Recursive function to return the
// number of ways
int rec(int x, int y, int last)
{
    // base condition
    if (y == 0) {
        if (x == 0)
            return 1;
        return 0;
    }
    int sum = 0;
    // for recursive function call
    for (int i = last; i >= 0 and (float)fib[i] * (float)y >= (float)x; i--) {
        if (fib[i] > x)
            continue;
        sum += rec(x - fib[i], y - 1, i);
    }
    return sum;
}
 
// Driver code
