COMMENTS

The digital sum analogue (in base 6) of the Fibonacci recurrence. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 27 2007

a(n)==A004090(n) modulo 5 (A004090(n)=digital sum of Fib(n)). - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 27 2007

For general bases p>2, we have the inequality 2<=a(n)<=2p-3 (for n>2). Actually, a(n)<=9=A131319(6) for the base p=6. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 27 2007

a(n) and Fib(n)=A000045(n) are congruent modulo 5 which implies that (a(n) mod 5) is equal to (Fib(n) mod 5) = A082116(n) (for n>0). Thus (a(n) mod 6) is periodic with the Pisano period A001175(5)=20. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de),

FORMULA

Periodic from n=3 with period 20. - Frank Adams-Watters (FrankTAW(AT)Netscape.net), Mar 13 2006

a(n)=a(n-1)+a(n-2)-5*(floor(a(n-1)/6)+floor(a(n-2)/6)). - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 27 2007

a(n)=floor(a(n-1)/6)+floor(a(n-2)/6)+(a(n-1)mod 6)+(a(n-2)mod 6). - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 27 2007

a(n)=(a(n-1)+a(n-2)+5*(A010875(a(n-1))+A010875(a(n-2))))/6. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 27 2007

a(n)=Fib(n)-5*sum{1<k<n, Fib(n-k+1)*floor(a(k)/6)} where Fib(n)=A000045(n). - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jun 27 2007
