Sum of Sequence of Odd Index Fibonacci Numbers

Theorem
Let $F_k$ be the $k$th Fibonacci number.

Then:

Proof
Proof by induction:

For all $n \in \N_{>0}$, let $\map P n$ be the proposition:
 * $\displaystyle \sum_{j \mathop = 1}^n F_{2 j - 1} = F_{2 n}$

Basis for the Induction
$\map P 1$ is the case $F_1 = 1 = F_2$, which holds from the definition of Fibonacci numbers.

This is our basis for the induction.

Induction Hypothesis
Now we need to show that, if $\map P k$ is true, where $k \ge 1$, then it logically follows that $\map P {k + 1}$ is true.

So this is our induction hypothesis:
 * $\displaystyle \sum_{j \mathop = 1}^k F_{2 j - 1} = F_{2 k}$

Then we need to show:
 * $\displaystyle \sum_{j \mathop = 1}^{k + 1} F_{2 j - 1} = F_{2 k + 2}$

Induction Step
This is our induction step:

So $\map P k \implies \map P {k + 1}$ and the result follows by the Principle of Mathematical Induction.

Therefore:
 * $\displaystyle \forall n \ge 1: \sum_{j \mathop = 1}^n F_{2 j - 1} = F_{2 n}$
