A130247 Inverse Lucas (A000032) numbers: index k of a Lucas number such that Lucas(k)=n; max(k|Lucas(k) < n), if there is no such index. 6

%N Inverse Lucas (A000032) numbers: index k of a Lucas number such that Lucas(k)=n; max(k|Lucas(k) < n), if there is no such index.

%C Inverse of the Lucas sequence (A000032), since a(Lucas(n))=n for n >= 0 (see A130241 and A130242 for other versions). Same as A130241 except for n=1.

%H G. C. Greubel, <a href="/A130247/b130247.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>

%F a(n)=c(n), if (n^2-4)/5 is a square number, a(n)=s(n), if (n^2+4)/5 is a square number and a(n)=floor(log_phi(n)) otherwise, where s(n)=floor(arcsinh(n/2)/log(phi)), c(n)=floor(arccosh(n/2)/log(phi)) and phi=(1+sqrt(5))/2.

%F a(n) = A130241(n) except for n=2.

%F G.f.: g(x) = (1/(1-x))*(Sum_{k>=1} x^Lucas(k)) - x^2.

%F a(n) = floor(log_phi(n+1/2)) for n >= 3, where phi is the golden ratio.

%e a(2)=0, since Lucas(0)=2; a(10)=4, since Lucas(4) = 7 < 10 but Lucas(5) = 11 > 10.
