Comments

Every integer occurs in this sequence (infinitely many times).

Represent the array as {g(i,j): i>=1, j>=1}. Then for m>=0, (diagonal #m) is the sequence (g(i,i+m)), i>=1; for m<0, (diagonal #m) is the sequence (g(i+m,i)), i>=1.

Example

The main diagonal of the Wythoff array is (1,7,16,...); that's diagonal #0, so that a(1)=0, a(7)=0, a(16)=0.

Mathematica

f[n_]:=f[n]=Fibonacci[n];
g[i_, j_]:=f[j+1]*Floor[i*GoldenRatio]+(i-1) f[j];
t=Table[g[i, j], {i, 500}, {j, 100}];
