Sequence related to Fibonacci and "tribonacci" sequences : let f(1)=1, f(2)=n, f(k+2)=f(k+1)+f(k), t(1)=t(2)=t(3)=1, t(k+3)=t(k+2)+t(k+1)+t(k) (t(k)=A000213(k-1)); sequence gives the smallest value k = a(n) such that t(k)>f(k).

FORMULA
Asymptotically: a(n)= C*Log(n) + 0(Log(n)) with C a constant = 8.2... (this constant doesn't depend on initial values f(1), t(1), t(2), t(3) while f(2)=n )
