Muniru A Asiru, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..2000

Formula

a(n) = floor(rn-(4r-1)/(r+1)) where r=2+sqrt(5).

Example

a(2) = a(1)+4 = 5 because 2 is not already in the sequence;
a(3) = a(2)+4 = 9 because 3 is not already in the sequence;
a(4) = a(3)+4 = 13 because 4 is not already in the sequence;
a(5) = a(4)+5 = 18 because 5 is already in the sequence.

Maple

r:=2+sqrt(5): seq(floor(r*n-(4*r-1)/(r+1)), n=1..60); # Muniru A Asiru, Jun 06 2018

Mathematica

Module[{r=2+Sqrt[5], c}, c=(4r-1)/(r+1); Table[Floor[r*n-c], {n, 60}]] (* Harvey P. Dale, Feb 19 2013 *)
