COMMENTS

Write t=tau=(1+sqrt(5))/2 and let S be generated by these rules: 1 is in S and if x is in S, then f(x) := [t*x] and g(x) := [(t+1)*x] are in S. Then S is the set of positive integers and the present permutation of S is obtained by arranging S in rows according to the order in which they are generated by f and g, starting with x=1.

The formula indicates the manner in which these numbers arise as a tree:  1 stems to 2, which branches to (3,5), and thereafter, each number branches to a pair:

  3->(4,7) and 5->(8,13), etc.

The numbers >1 in the lower Wythoff sequence A000201 occupy the first place in each pair, and the numbers >2 in the upper Wythoff sequence A001950 occupy the second place.  The pairs, together with (1,2) are the Wythoff pairs, much studied as the solutions of the Wythoff game.  The Wythoff pairs also occur, juxtaposed, in the Wythoff array, A035513.

FORMULA

Array T(n, k) by rows: T(0, 0)=1; T(1, 0)=2;

T(n, 2j)=Floor(tau*T(n-1, j));

T(n, 2j+1)=Floor((tau+1)*T(n-1, j))

for j=0,1,...,2^(n-1)-1, n>=2.

EXAMPLE

First levels of the tree:

...................1

...................2

...........3.................5

.......4.......7........8........13

.....6..10...11..18....12..20...21..34
