%N Frobenius number of the subsemigroup of the natural numbers generated by successive pairs of Fibonacci numbers.

%H R. Fröberg, C. Gottlieb and R. Häggkvist, <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF02573091">On numerical semigroups</a>, Semigroup Forum, 35 (1987), 63-83 (for definition of Frobenius number).

%F a(n) = (F(n)-1)*(F(n+1)-1)-1 where F(n) is the n-th Fibonacci number.

%F G.f.: x^3*(1+4*x+5*x^2-x^4)/((1+x)*(1-3*x+x^2)*(1-x-x^2)). [_Colin Barker_, Feb 17 2012]

%F a(n) = F(n)*F(n+1) - F(n+2). - _Clark Kimberling_, Mar 05 2016

%e a(3)=1 because the 3rd and 4th Fibonacci numbers are 2 and 3, so a(3)=(2-1)(3-1)-1=1. Or, a(3)=1 because 1 is the largest positive integer that is not a nonnegative linear combination of 2 and 3.
