Problem 739


Problem 739


Summation of Summations

Take a sequence of length $n$. Discard the first term then make a sequence of the partial summations. Continue to do this over and over until we are left with a single term. We define this to be $f(n)$.

Consider the example where we start with a sequence of length $8$:

$$
\begin{array}{rrrrrrrr}
1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1\
& 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7\
& & 2 & 5 & 9 & 14 & 20 & 27\
& & & 5 & 14 & 28 & 48 & 75\
& & & & 14 & 42 & 90 & 165\
& & & & & 42 & 132 & 297\
& & & & & & 132 & 429\
& & & & & & & 429\
\end{array}
$$

Then the final number is $429$, so $f(8) = 429$.

For this problem we start with the sequence $1,3,4,7,11,18,29,47,\ldots$
This is the Lucas sequence where two terms are added to get the next term.
Applying the same process as above we get $f(8) = 2663$.
You are also given $f(20) \equiv 742296999 \bmod 1\ 000\ 000\ 007$.

Find $f(10^8)$. Give your answer modulo $1\ 000\ 000\ 007$.


求和再求和

考虑一个长度为$n$的数列,先去掉第一项并求部分和,再对部分和序列不断重复同样的操作,直到只剩下一项。我们记剩下的这一项为$f(n)$。

如下展示的例子中,初始序列为$8$个$1$:

$$
\begin{array}{rrrrrrrr}
1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1\
& 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7\
& & 2 & 5 & 9 & 14 & 20 & 27\
& & & 5 & 14 & 28 & 48 & 75\
& & & & 14 & 42 & 90 & 165\
& & & & & 42 & 132 & 297\
& & & & & & 132 & 429\
& & & & & & & 429\
\end{array}
$$

最后剩下的一项为$429$,因此该序列对应的$f(8) = 429$。

在本题中,我们选择的初始序列为$1,3,4,7,11,18,29,47,\ldots$
这一类每一项是前两项之和的序列统称卢卡斯序列。
按照上述步骤可得该数列对应的$f(8) = 2663$。
已知$f(20) \equiv 742296999 \bmod 1\ 000\ 000\ 007$。

求$f(10^8)$,并将你的答案对$1\ 000\ 000\ 007$取余。
