COMMENTS
Zhi-Wei Sun conjectured that a(n)>0 for every n=5,6,...; in other words, any integer n>4 can be written as the sum of an odd prime, a positive Fibonacci number and a Lucas number, with the Fibonacci number or the Lucas number odd. Moreover, Sun conjectured that lim inf_n a(n)/log(n) is greater than 3 and smaller than 4.
