%C From _Fred Lunnon_, Jun 20 2008: (Start)

%C Partition the positive integers into two sets A_0 and A_1 defined by A_k == { n | a(n) = k }; so A_0 = A005653 = { 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 12, 13, 15, 18, 20, ... }, A_1 = A005652 = { 1, 3, 6, 8, 9, 11, 14, 16, 17, 19, 21, ... }.

%C Then form the sets of sums of pairs of distinct elements from each set and take the complement of their union: this is the Fibonacci numbers { 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, ... } (see the Chow article). (End)

%C The Chow-Long paper gives a connection with continued fractions, as well as generalizations and other references for this and related sequences.

%C This is the complement of A089809; also a(n) = 1 iff A024569(n) = 1. - _Gary W. Adamson_, Nov 11 2003

%C Since (n*phi) is equidistributed, s(n):=(Sum_{k=1..n}a(k))/n converges to 1/2, but actually s(n) is exactly equal to 1/2 for many values of n. These values are given by A194402. - _Michel Dekking_, Sep 30 2016

%C From _Clark Kimberling_ and _Jianing Song_, Sep 09 2019: (Start)

%C Suppose that k >= 2, and let a(n) = floor(n*k*r) - k*floor(n*r) = k*{n*r} - {n*k*r}, an integer strictly between 0 and k, where {} denotes fractional part. For h = 0,1,...,k-1, let s(h) be the sequence of positions of h in {a(n)}. The sets s(h) partition the positive integers. Although a(n)/n -> k, the sequence a(n)-k*n appears to be unbounded.
