%N Round phi^n to the nearest integer.

%C Phi = (1+sqrt(5))/2, see A001622.

%C a(n) is the number of subsets of {1,2,...,n} with no two consecutive elements where n and 1 are considered to be consecutive. - _Geoffrey Critzer_, Sep 23 2013

%C Equals the Lucas sequence beginning at 1 (A000204) with 2 inserted between 1 and 3.

%C The Lucas sequence beginning at 2 (A000032) can be written as L(n) = phi^n + (-1/phi)^n. Since |(-1/phi)^n|<1/2 for n>1, this sequence is {L(n)} (with the first two terms switched). As a consequence, for n>1: a(n) is obtained by rounding phi^n up for even n and down for odd n; a(n) is also the nearest integer to 1/|phi^n - a(n)|. - _Danny Rorabaugh_, Apr 15 2015

%F O.g.f.: (1 + x - x^3)/(1 - x - x^2). - _Geoffrey Critzer_, Sep 23 2013

%F a(n) = round(sqrt(F(2n) + 2*F(2n-1))), for n >= 0, allowing F(-1) = 1. Also phi^n -> sqrt(F(2n) + 2*F(2n-1)), within < 0.02% by n = 4, therefore converging rapidly. - _Richard R. Forberg_, Jun 23 2014

%F For k > 0, a(2k) = A169986(2k) and a(2k+1) = A014217(2k+1). - _Danny Rorabaugh_, Apr 15 2015

%F For n > 1, a(n) = A001610(n - 1) + 1. - _Gus Wiseman_, Feb 12 2019

%F a(n) = A000032(n) for n>=2. - _G. C. Greubel_, Jul 09 2019

%e a(4) = 7 because we have: {}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {1,3}, {2,4}. - _Geoffrey Critzer_, Sep 23 2013
