A088527 Define a Fibonacci-type sequence to be one of the form s(1) = s_1 >= 1, s(2) = s_2 >= 1, s(n+2) = s(n+1) + s(n); then a(n) = maximal m such that n is the m-th term in some Fibonacci-type sequence. 1

COMMENTS

The m-th term in a Fibonacci-type sequence is smallest for the Fibonacci sequence itself. a(Fibonacci(n)) = n (which corresponds to taking s_1 = s_2 = 1). This gives an upper bound a(t) <= log_phi(sqrt(5)*t), roughly. Denes asks: How small can a(n) be and when do small values occur?
