Zeckendorf proved that every positive integer has a unique representation as
a sum of non-consecutive Fibonacci numbers. Once this has been shown, it's
natural to ask how many summands are needed. Using a continued fraction
approach, Lekkerkerker proved that the average number of such summands needed
for integers in $[F_n, F_{n+1})$ is $n / (\varphi^2 + 1) + O(1)$, where
$\varphi = \frac{1+\sqrt{5}}2$ is the golden mean. Surprisingly, no one appears
to have investigated the distribution of the number of summands; our main
result is that this converges to a Gaussian as $n\to\infty$.
A beautiful theorem of Zeckendorf states that every integer can be written
uniquely as a sum of non-consecutive Fibonacci numbers
$\{F_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$. Lekkerkerker proved that the average number of
summands for integers in $[F_n, F_{n+1})$ is $n/(\varphi^2 + 1)$, with
$\varphi$ the golden mean.
In this paper, we study the Stanley depth for the partially ordered set
(poset) of nonempty submultisets of a multiset. We find the Stanley depth
explicitly for any multiset with at most five distinct elements and provide an
upper bound for the general case. On the other hand, the elements of a product
of chains corresponds to the submultisets of a multiset. We prove that the
Stanley depth of the product of chains $\bm{n}^k\backslash \bm{0}$ is
$(n-1)\lceil{k\over 2}\rceil$.
