COMMENTS
| More generally let b(k) be a sequence of integers in arithmetic progression: b(k)=A*k+B, then the Golomb's sequence a(n) using b(k) is asymptotic to tau^(2-tau)*(A*n)^(tau-1).
|
|
|
FORMULA
| a(n) is asymptotic to tau^(2-tau)*(3n)^(tau-1) and more precisely it seems that a(n)=round(tau^(2-tau)*(3n)^(tau-1)) +(-2, -1, +0, +1 or +1) where tau is the golden ratio.

EXAMPLE
| Read 3,3,3,6,6,6,9,9,9,12,12,12,12,12,12,15 as (3,3,3),(6,6,6),(9,9,9),(12,12,12,12,12,12),... count occurrences between 2 parentheses, gives 3,3,3,6,... which is the sequence itself.
