Fignumbers

Fignumbers is a comprehensive TypeScript library for generating and exploring infinite figurate number sequences, linked to geometric shapes across multiple dimensions.

Rich variety with academic foundation 🚀

Based on the book Figurate Numbers (2012) by Elena Deza and Michel Deza, this library covers a broad range of figurate number sequences. This academic foundation ensures its reliability and precision for use in various fields:

• Mathematical projects
• Visualization
• Algorithmic applications
• Any work involving figurate number sequences

It is precise and type-safe, but performance may not be as optimized as smaller number types, since bigint operations are typically slower than traditional number operations.

Installation 🛠️

First, make sure you have the library installed via npm:

npm install fignumbers

BigInt Support Required ⚠️

• Fignumbers utilizes BigInt to manage large integers that exceed the Number type limit of (2^53 - 1). Ensure that your environment supports BigInt before using this library.

Usage 🔥

Three main classes ⚙️

Fignumbers is structured around three main classes, each corresponding to a different spatial dimension, as described in the book:

1. PlaneFigNumbers – 121 sequences
2. SpaceFigNumbers – 133 sequences
3. MultiDimensionalFigNumbers – 191 sequences

Together, these classes implement a total of 445 figurate number sequences.

Example

// 1. Import the library
import { SpaceFigNumbers } from "fignumbers";

// 2. Configure parameters for the generator (use bigints for precision!)
const config = { start: 1n, m: 5n, step: 1n };

// 3. Choose the type of space figurate number you want (pyramidal, cubic, etc.)
const pyramidalSequence = new SpaceFigNumbers("pyramidal");
const pyramidalNumbers = pyramidalSequence.generate(config);

// 4. Get ready to see the magic happen! First 7 pyramidal numbers with m = 5n:
console.log("First 7 pyramidal numbers with m = 5n:");
for (let i = 0; i < 7; i++) {
  const nextNumber = pyramidalNumbers.next().value; // Grab the next number in the sequence
  console.log(`Number ${i + 1}: ${nextNumber}`);
}

Expected Output

First 7 pyramidal numbers with m = 5n:
  Number 1: 1n
  Number 2: 6n
  Number 3: 18n
  Number 4: 40n
  Number 5: 75n
  Number 6: 126n
  Number 7: 196n
