A112866 If a(n-1) is the i-th Fibonacci number then a(n)=Fibonacci(i+a(n-2)); with a(1)=1, a(2)=2 and where we use the following nonstandard indexing for the Fibonacci numbers: f(n)=f(n-1)+f(n-2), f(1)=1, f(2)=2 (cf. A000045).

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..7.

Example

a(5)=Fibonacci(5+3)=34 because a(4) is the 5th Fibonacci number and a(3)=3.

Maple

f := proc(n)
    combinat[fibonacci](n+1) ;
end proc:
Fidx := proc(n)
    for i from 1 do
        if f(i) = n then
            return i;
        elif f(i) > n then
            return -1 ;
        end if;
    end do:
end proc:
A112866 := proc(n)
    option remember;
    if n<= 2 then
        n;
    else
        i := Fidx(procname(n-1)) ;
        f( i+procname(n-2)) ;
    end if:
end proc: # R. J. Mathar, Nov 26 2011

Mathematica
