COMMENTS

1. Let s(n) be a sequence such that lim s(n)/s(n+1) = K different from -1. The "oscillator sequence" (or simply "oscillator") of s(n) is the sequence s'(n) defined by the rules: s'(1) = 1; s'(n) = 1 - (s(n-1)/s(n)) s'(n-1). 2. It is an open problem whether the oscillator (prime)' converges to 1/2 or diverges. 3. s'(n) = 1 - (s(n-1)/s(n)) s'(n-1) = [s(n) - s(n-1) s'(n-1)]/s(n). The numerator is the expression s(n) - s(n-1) s'(n-1), which motivates the definition of the above sequence a(n). a(n) is called the "integral oscillator" of Fibonacci(n). In general the integral oscillator of s(n) can be defined similarly.
