COMMENTS
In other words, the Zeckendorf representation of a(n) is obtained from the Zeckendorf representation of n by deleting the least significant bit.
Theorem: The first differences (1,1,0,1,0,1,1,0,...) form the Fibonacci word A005614. (The proof is straightforward.)
The difference sequence agrees with A005614 after the first two terms of A005614. - Clark Kimberling, Dec 29 2020

FORMULA
a(n) = floor((n+2)/tau)-1, where tau = golden ratio. - Clark Kimberling, Dec 29 2020; corrected by Harry Altman, Jun 06 2024
EXAMPLE
n = 19 has Zeckendorf representation [1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1], dropping last bit we get [1, 0, 1, 0, 0], which is the Zeckendorf representation of 11, so a(19) = 11.
