fibint
Compute Fibonacci numbers efficiently using finite fields. This allows for Fibonacci numbers to be computed from a closed-form expression, by using only integer arithmetic. For any integer width, this makes it possible to compute all Fibonacci numbers representable by that integer, without resorting to floating-point numbers or wider integers.
How it works
Instead of using the closed-form expression for computing the n-th Fibonacci number in the field of real numbers, it uses an analogous closed-form expression in a finite field that is big enough to contain the largest representable Fibonacci number.
See my blog post for a more thorough explanation.
