%N Numbers generated by the golden sieve.
%C Let f(n) denote the n-th term of the current working sequence. Start with the positive integers:
%C 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,...
%C Delete the term in position f(1), which is f(f(1))=f(1)=1, leaving:
%C 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,...
%C Delete the term in position f(2), which is f(f(2))=f(3)=4, leaving:
%C 2,3,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,...
%C Delete the term in position f(3), which is f(f(3))=f(5)=7, leaving:
%C 2,3,5,6,8,9,10,11,12,...
%C Delete the term in position f(4), which is f(f(4))=f(6)=9, leaving:
%C 2,3,5,6,8,10,11,12,...
%C Iterating the "sieve" indefinitely produces the sequence:

%F a(n) = floor(n*phi + 2 - phi) where phi = (1 + sqrt(5))/2.
%F a(a(...a(1)...)) with n iterations equals F(n+1) = A000045(n+1).
%F 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_, Nov 22 2004
