%N Upper Odd Swappage of Upper Wythoff Sequence.

%C 1. lim (1/n)*A141107(n) = 1 + tau

%C 2. Let S(n)=(1/2)*(1+A141107(n)). Is the complement of S equal to A004976?

%C 3. Is A141107 = 1 + A141104?

%C Both #2 and #3 are true. They can be proved with the Walnut theorem-prover, using the synchronized Fibonacci automaton for the sequences A141104 and A141107. These automata take n and y as input, in Fibonacci (Zeckendorf) representation, and accept iff y = a(n) for the respective sequence. - _Jeffrey Shallit_, Jan 27 2024

%F Let a = (1,3,4,6,8,9,11,12,...) = A000201 = lower Wythoff sequence; let b = (2,5,7,10,13,15,18,...) = A001950 = upper Wythoff sequence. For each even b(n), let a(m) be the greatest number in a such that after swapping b(n) and a(m), the resulting new a and b are both increasing. A141107 is the sequence obtained by thus swapping all evens out of A001950.

%e Start with

%e a = (1,3,4,6,8,9,11,12,...) and b = (2,5,7,10,13,15,18,...).

%e After first swap,

%e a = (1,2,4,6,8,9,11,12,...) and b = (3,5,7,10,13,15,18,...).

%e After 2nd swap,

%e a = (1,2,4,6,8,9,10,12,...) and b = (3,5,7,11,13,15,18,...).

%Y Cf. A000201, A001950, A141104, A141105, A141106, A004976.
