Abstract: In this article we develop a method of solving general one-dimensional Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) problems in optimal control theory, using a generalized form of Fibonacci numbers. We find the solution R(k) of the corresponding discrete-time Riccati equation in terms of ratios of generalized Fibonacci numbers. An explicit Binet type formula for R(k) is also found, removing the need for recursively finding the solution at a given timestep. Moreover, we show that it is also possible to express the feedback gain, the penalty functional and the controller state in terms of these ratios. A generalized golden ratio appears in the corresponding infinite horizon problem. Finally, we show the use of the method in a few examples.
