Sum of Fibonacci numbers at even indexes upto N terms

Given a positive integer N, the task is to find the value of F₂ + F₄ + F₆ +………+ F_2n upto N terms where F_i denotes the i-th Fibonacci number.

The Fibonacci numbers are the numbers in the following integer sequence.

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, ……

Examples:

Input: n = 5
Output: 88
N = 5, So the fibonacci series will be generated from 0th term upto 10th term:
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55
Sum of elements at even indexes = 0 + 1 + 3 + 8 + 21 + 55

Input: n = 8
Output: 1596
0 + 1 + 3 + 8 + 21 + 55 + 144 + 377 + 987 = 1596.

Recommended: Please try your approach on {IDE} first, before moving on to the solution.

Method-1: This method includes solving the problem directly by finding all Fibonacci numbers till 2n and adding up the only the even indices. But this will require O(n) time complexity.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ Program to find  sum 
// of even-indiced Fibonacci numbers 
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
// Computes value of first fibonacci numbers 
// and stores the even-indexed sum 
int calculateEvenSum(int n) 
{ 
    if (n <= 0) 
        return 0; 
  
    int fibo[2 * n + 1]; 
    fibo[0] = 0, fibo[1] = 1; 
  
    // Initialize result 
    int sum = 0; 
  
    // Add remaining terms 
    for (int i = 2; i <= 2 * n; i++) { 
        fibo[i] = fibo[i - 1] + fibo[i - 2]; 
  
        // For even indices 
        if (i % 2 == 0) 
            sum += fibo[i]; 
    } 
  
    // Return the alternting sum 
    return sum; 
} 
  
// Driver program to test above function 
int main() 
{ 
  
    // Get n 
    int n = 8; 
  
    // Find the even-indiced sum 
    cout << "Even indexed Fibonacci Sum upto "
         << n << " terms: "
         << calculateEvenSum(n) << endl; 
  
    return 0; 
}

Output:

Even indexed Fibonacci Sum upto 8 terms: 1596

Method-2:

It can be clearly seen that the required sum can be obtained thus:
2 ( F₂ + F₄ + F₆ +………+ F_2n ) = (F₁ + F₂ + F₃ + F₄ +………+ F_2n) – (F₁ – F₂ + F₃ – F₄ +………+ F_2n)

Now the first term can be obtained if we put 2n instead of n in the formula given here.

Thus F₁ + F₂ + F₃ + F₄ +………+ F_2n = F_2n+2 – 1.

The second term can also be found if we put 2n instead of n in the formula given here

Thus, F₁ – F₂ + F₃ – F₄ +………- F_2n = 1 + (-1)²ⁿ⁺¹F_2n-1 = 1 – F_2n-1.

So, 2 ( F₂ + F₄ + F₆ +………+ F_2n)
= F_2n+2 – 1 – 1 + F_2n-1
= F_2n+2 + F_2n-1 – 2
= F_2n + F_2n+1 + F_2n+1 – F_2n – 2
= 2 ( F_2n+1 -1)
Hence, ( F₂ + F₄ + F₆ +………+ F_2n) = F_2n+1 -1 .

So in order to find the required sum, the task is to find only F_2n+1 which requires O(log n) time.( Refer to method 5 or method 6 in this article.
