A008963(a(n)) = 9; A105519(a(n)) = A105519(a(n) - 1) + 1.

Comment from Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Dec 23 2006: Peterson says: "Calculate 100/89 = 1.1235955056... This fraction generates the first five Fibonacci numbers before blurring into other digits. ... 10000/9899 = 1.0102030508132134559046368... generates the first 10 Fibonacci numbers (using two digits per number). 1000000/998999 generates the first 15 Fibonacci numbers (using three digits per number). ... in successive fractions, two 0s are appended to the numerator and a 9 to the beginning and end of the denominator...."

FORMULA

n such that d(n+5)-d(n) = 2 for d(n) = floor(1 + log base 10(F(n))) and F(n) = n-th Fibonacci number = A000045(n). - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Dec 23 2006

EXAMPLE

a(10)=21: A008963(212) = A000030(A000045(212)) =

A000030(90343046356137747723758225621187571439538669) = 9.
