Projects

  • 2024.06 - Ongoing!
    Fib-Functor
    The divisibility relation on the natural numbers forms an example of a category, an abstract mathematical structure. The fibonacci sequence on this category is an example of a functor, a map preserving the structure of a category. This project is on the formalization of this fact, as well as related properties of the fibonacci functor, in Lean4, an interactive theorem prover.
