Zeckendorf's theorem states that any positive integer, N, can be written as a sum of non-consecutive Fibonacci numbers uniquely. This is achieved by a greedy algorithm: the representation always starts with the largest Fibonacci number <= N.

Here, I used the definition of Fibonacci numbers as:
F(0) = 0
F(1) = 1
F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2).

For example: N = 100 = 89 + 8 + 3.

This code outputs the Zeckendorf representation of a positive integer N. Fibonacci numbers are computed using binary exponentiation of the Fibonacci matrix [1 1; 1 0].
