Comments

Every number in a row of the Wythoff array has the same number of Zeckendorf summands as the first number in the row; hence A035513(n) is the number of Zeckendorf summands of A003622(n)=n-1+Floor(n*tau), where tau=(1+sqrt(5))/2.

Let M(1) = 1, M(2) = 2 and for n >= 3, M(n) = M(n-1).f(M(n-2)) where f() increments by one and the dot stands for concatenation, then this sequence is 0.M(1).M(2).M(3).M(4)... , see the example. - Joerg Arndt, May 14 2011

Example

Row 5 of the Wythoff array is (12, 20, 32, ...) and corresponding Zeckendorf representations all have 3 terms:
12 = 1 + 3 + 8,
20 = 2 + 5 + 13,
32 = 3 + 8 + 21, etc.
From Joerg Arndt, May 14 2011: (Start)
The sequence as an irregular triangle:
1,        = M(1)
1,        = M(2)
1, 2,     = M(3) = M(2).f(M(1))
1, 2, 2,  = M(4) = M(3).f(M(2))
