%N a(n) = floor(n/tau), where tau = (1 + sqrt(5))/2.

%C Fibonacci base shift right: for n >= 0, a(n+1) = Sum_{k in A_n} F_{k-1}, where n = Sum_{k in A_n} F_k (unique) expression of n as a sum of "noncontiguous" Fibonacci numbers (with index >=2). - Michele Dondi (bik.mido(AT)tiscalenet.it), Dec 30 2001 [corrected, and aligned with sequence offset by _Peter Munn_, Jan 10 2018]

%C Numerators a(n) of fractions slowly converging to phi, the golden ratio: let a(1) = 0, b(n) = n - a(n); if (a(n) + 1) / b(n) < (1 + sqrt(5))/2, then a(n+1) = a(n) + 1, else a(n+1) = a(n). a(n) + b(n) = n and as n -> +infinity, a(n) / b(n) converges to (1 + sqrt(5))/2. For all n, a(n) / b(n) < (1 + sqrt(5))/2. - Robert A. Stump (bee_ess107(AT)msn.com), Sep 22 2002

%C a(10^n) gives the first few digits of phi=(sqrt(5)-1)/2.

%C Comment corrected, two alternative ways, by _Peter Munn_, Jan 10 2018: (Start)

%C (a(n) = a(n+1) or a(n) = a(n-1)) if and only if a(n) is in A066096.

%C a(n+1) = a(n+2) if and only if n is in A003622.

%C (End)

%C From _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jun 28 2011: (Start)

%C a(n+1) counts for n >= 1 the number of Wythoff A-numbers not exceeding n.

%C a(n+1) counts also the number of Wythoff B-numbers smaller than A(n+2), with the Wythoff A- and B-sequences A000201 and A001950, respectively.

%C a(n+1) = Sum_{j=1..n} A005614(j-1) for n >= 1 (no rounding problems like in the above definition, because the rabbit sequence A005614(n-1) for n >= 1, can be defined by a substitution rule).

%C a(n+1) = A(n+1)-(n+1) (serving, together with the last equation, as definition for A(n+1), given the rabbit sequence).

%C a(n+1) = A005206(n), n >= 0.

%C (End)

%C Let b(n) = floor((n+1)/phi). Then b(n) + b(b(n-1)) = n [Granville and Rasson]. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Jun 13 2014

%e a(6)= 3 so b(6) = 6 - 3 = 3. a(7) = 4 because (a(6) + 1) / b(6) = 4/3 which is < (1 + sqrt(5))/2. So b(7) = 7 - 4 = 3. a(8) = 4 because (a(7) + 1) / b(7) = 5/3 which is > (1 + sqrt(5))/2. - Robert A. Stump (bee_ess107(AT)msn.com), Sep 22 2002

%e From _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jun 28 2011: (Start)

%e There are a(4) = 2 (positive) Wythoff A-numbers <= 3, namely 1 and 3.

%e There are a(4) = 2 (positive) Wythoff B-numbers < A(4) = 6, namely 2 and 5.
