Background

Zeckendorf representation is a numeral system where each digit has the value of Fibonacci numbers (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ...) and no two consecutive digits can be 1.

Nega-Zeckendorf representation is an extension to this system that allows encoding of all integers, not just positive ones. Its base values are nega-Fibonacci numbers (regular Fibonacci numbers with alternating sign; 1, -1, 2, -3, 5, -8, 13, -21, ..., also derived by extending regular Fibonacci sequence to negative indices).

Donald Knuth proved that every integer has a unique representation as a sum of non-consecutive nega-Fibonacci numbers (0 is an empty sum). Therefore, the corresponding nega-Zeckendorf representation is unique for every integer. 0 is represented as an empty list of digits.

Challenge

Given an integer (which can be positive, zero, or negative), compute its nega-Zeckendorf representation.

The output must consist of zeros and ones, either as numbers or characters. Output in either least-significant first or most-significant first order is acceptable (the latter is used in the test cases).

Standard rules apply. The shortest code in bytes wins.

Test cases

-10 = 101001
-9 = 100010
-8 = 100000
-7 = 100001
-6 = 100100
-5 = 100101
-4 = 1010
-3 = 1000
-2 = 1001
-1 = 10
0 = (empty)
1 = 1
2 = 100
3 = 101
4 = 10010
5 = 10000
6 = 10001
7 = 10100
8 = 10101
9 = 1001010
10 = 1001000

-11 = (-8) + (-3) = 101000
12 = 13 + (-1) = 1000010
24 = 34 + (-8) + (-3) + 1 = 100101001
-43 = (-55) + 13 + (-1) = 1001000010
(c.f. negafibonacci: 1, -1, 2, -3, 5, -8, 13, -21, 34, -55, ...)

+3 bytes (ḢȯR) to output [] instead of 0

I'm sure this can be beaten by some clever mathematical trick; this just counts up in binary, converts from nega-Zeckendorf and stops when it equals the input

How it works

0BUJNÆḞḋƲ=ʋ1#ḢȯRB - Main link. Takes n on the left
          ʋ       - Group the previous 4 links into a dyad f(k, n):
 B                -   Convert k to binary
  U               -   Reverse the bits
        Ʋ         -   Group the previous 4 links into a monad g(bin(k)):
   J              -     Indices
    N             -     Negate
     ÆḞ           -     nth Fibonacci number
       ḋ          -     Dot product with bin(k)
         =        -   Does g(bin(k)) equal n?
0          1#     - Find the first integer k such that f(k, n) is true
             Ḣ    - Extract k
              ȯR  - If k = 0, replace with []
                B - Convert to binary

Old version

Uses the fact that each negative term in the negbonacci equals minus the sum of all preceding positive terms and, similarly, each positive term is 1 minus the sum of all preceding negative terms. This is used to set up a direct recursion.

  • probably not the golfiest but at least I solved this complicated task.

we convert y to an array of nega+fibs or 0. If that sum is ==x and if no 1's are next to each other we return y with last bit removed, else we try next u

Try it online! Link is to verbose version of code. Based on the algorithm in the linked Stack Overflow question. Explanation:

Nθ

Input the integer.

F²⊞υ±ι

Start building up the negated nega-Fibonacci sequence with 0, -1.

W∧θ⁼›θ§υ±³›θ§υ±¹

Until enough terms have been generated to calculate the nega-Zeckendorf representation...

⊞υ↨…⮌υ²±¹

Push the difference between the last two terms to the sequence.

W›Lυ²

While sufficient terms of the sequence remain:

¿⁼›θ§υ±³›θ⊟υ0

If the integer does not fall between the third last and the last term (removing the last term as we go), then output a 0.

«1≧⁺§υ±¹θ

Otherwise output a 1 and add the (originally second) last term to the integer, which brings it closer to zero (since it has the opposite sign; see the linked question to explain why this works).

      ""))                                # else ""

Lists all valid binary representations upto 18 digits and finds the match to the number in A1. Works for [-4180 .. 2584].
