Comments

This is one of five sequences that partition the positive integers.

Given t is the pentanacci constant, then the following sequences are disjoint:

. A184835(n) = n + [n/t] + [n/t^2] + [n/t^3] + [n/t^4],

. A184836(n) = n + [n*t] + [n/t] + [n/t^2] + [n/t^3],

. A184837(n) = n + [n*t] + [n*t^2] + [n/t] + [n/t^2],

. A184838(n) = n + [n*t] + [n*t^2] + [n*t^3] + [n/t],

. A184839(n) = n + [n*t] + [n*t^2] + [n*t^3] + [n*t^4], where []=floor.

This is a special case of Clark Kimberling's results given in A184812.

Formula

Limit a(n)/n = t^2 = 3.8649524691694932164414964...

a(n) = n + floor(n*p/s) + floor(n*q/s) + floor(n*r/s) + floor(n*u/s), where p=t, q=t^2, r=t^3, s=t^4, u=t^5, and t is the pentanacci constant.

Example

Given t = pentanacci constant, then t^2 = 1 + t + 1/t + 1/t^2 + 1/t^3,
t = 1.965948236645..., t^2 = 3.864952469169..., t^3 = 7.598296491482..., t^4 = 14.93785758893..., t^5 = 29.36705478623...
