%N Number of 1's (or A's) in the Wythoff representation of n.

%C a(n) = number of applications of Wythoff's A sequence A000201 needed in the unique Wythoff representation of n>=1.

%C See A135817 for references and links for the Wythoff representation for n>=1.

%e 6 = A(A(A(B(1)))) = AAAB = `1110`, hence a(6)=3.
