Given a positive number N, the task is to find the sum of the first (N + 1) Fibonacci Numbers.

Examples:

Input: N = 3
Output: 4
Explanation:
The first 4 terms of the Fibonacci Series is {0, 1, 1, 2}. Therefore, the required sum = 0 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 4.

Input: N = 4
Output: 7

Naive Approach: For the simplest approach to solve the problem, refer to the previous post of this article. 
Time Complexity: O(N)
Auxiliary Space: O(1)

Efficient Approach: The above approach can be optimized by the following observations and calculations:

Let S(N) represent the sum of the first N terms of Fibonacci Series. Now, in order to simply find S(N), calculate the (N + 2)th Fibonacci number and subtract 1 from the result. The Nth term of this series can be calculated by the formula:

F_N = \frac{(\frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2})^{N}}{\sqrt{5}}

Now the value of S(N) can be calculated by (FN + 2 – 1).

Therefore, the idea is to calculate the value of SN using the above formula:

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the sum of
// first N + 1 fibonacci numbers
void sumFib(int N)
{
   
    // Apply the formula
    long num = (long)round(pow((sqrt(5) + 1)
                               / 2.0, N + 2)
                           / sqrt(5));
 
    // Print the result
    cout << (num - 1);
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int N = 3;
    sumFib(N);
    return 0;
}

                         / 2.0,
                     N + 2)
            / Math.sqrt(5));

    }

    }

Alternate Approach: Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

  • The Nth Fibonacci number can also be calculated using the generating function.
  • The generating function for the Nth Fibonacci number is given by:

G(X) = \frac{X}{(1 - X - X^{2})}

  • Therefore, the generating function of the sum of Fibonacci numbers is given by:

G'(X) = \frac{X}{((1 - X - X^{2}) * (1 - X))}

  • After partial fraction decomposition of G'(X), the value of G'(X) is given by:

G'(X) = \frac{a}{(a + 1) * (a - b) * (X + a)} + \frac{b}{(b + 1) * (b - a) * (X + b)} + \frac{1}{(a + 1) * (b + 1) * (X - 1)}

where, 
a = \frac{(1 + \sqrt5)}{2}, b = \frac{(1 - \sqrt5)}{2}

  • Therefore, the formula for the sum of the Fibonacci numbers is given by:

S_{N} = \mid \frac{1}{b^{N + 1} + b^{N} + b^{N - 1} + b^{N - 2} } \mid - 1

  long val = round(
    abs(1
        / (pow(num, N + 2)
           + pow(num, N + 1)
