question

The Fibonacci numbers F0,F1,F2,F_{0}, F_{1}, F_{2}, \ldots are defined inductively by F0=0,F1=1F_{0}=0, F_{1}=1, and Fn+1=Fn+Fn1F_{n+1}=F_{n}+F_{n-1} for n1n \geqslant 1. Given an integer n2n \geqslant 2, determine the smallest size of a set SS of integers such that for every k=2,3,,nk=2,3, \ldots, n there exist some x,ySx, y \in S such that xy=Fkx-y=F_{k}.
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
The Fibonacci numbers F₀,F₁,F₂,… are defined inductively by F₀=0,F₁=1, and F_(n+1)=F_(n)+F_(n−1) for n≥1. Given an integer n≥2, determine the smallest size of a set S of integers such that for every k=2,3,…,n there exist some x,y∈S such that x−y=F_(k).
Original LaTeX notation
The Fibonacci numbers $F_{0}, F_{1}, F_{2}, \ldots$ are defined inductively by $F_{0}=0, F_{1}=1$, and $F_{n+1}=F_{n}+F_{n-1}$ for $n \geqslant 1$. Given an integer $n \geqslant 2$, determine the smallest size of a set $S$ of integers such that for every $k=2,3, \ldots, n$ there exist some $x, y \in S$ such that $x-y=F_{k}$.
