COMMENTS

Let f(n) denote the n-th term of the current working sequence. Start with the natural integers:

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,...

Delete the term in position f(1), which is f(f(1))=f(1)=1, leaving:

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,...

Delete the term in position f(2), which is f(f(2))=f(3)=4, leaving:

2,3,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,...

Delete the term in position f(3), which is f(f(3))=f(5)=7, leaving:

2,3,5,6,8,9,10,11,12,...

Delete the term in position f(4), which is f(f(4))=f(6)=9, leaving:

2,3,5,6,8,10,11,12,...

Iterating the "sieve" indefinitely produces the sequence:

2,3,5,6,8,10,11,13,14,16,18,19,21,23,24,26,27,29,31,32,34,35,37,39,...

FORMULA

a(n) = floor(n*phi+2-phi) where phi=(1+sqrt(5))/2. Also a(a(...a(1)...)) with n iterations equals F(n+1)=A000045(n+1).

For n>0 and k>0 we have a(a(n)+F(k)-(1+(-1)^k)/2) = a(a(n))+F(k+1)-1-(-1)^k - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Nov 22 2004

MATHEMATICA

t = Nest[Flatten[# /. {0 -> {0, 1}, 1 -> {1, 0, 1}}] &, {0}, 6] (*A189479*)

Flatten[Position[t, 0]] (*A007066*)

Flatten[Position[t, 1]] (*A099267*)

PROG

(Haskell)

a099267 n = a099267_list !! (n-1)

a099267_list = f 1 [1..] 0 where

   f k xs y = ys' ++ f (k+1) (ys ++ xs') g where

     ys' = dropWhile (< y) ys

     (ys, _:xs') = span (< g) xs

     g = xs !! (h - 1)

     h = xs !! (k - 1)
