%N a(n) = n + floor(ns/r) + floor(nt/r) with r=2, s=(-1+sqrt(5))/2, t=(1+sqrt(5))/2.

%C This is one of three sequences that partition the positive integers. In general, suppose that r, s, t are positive real numbers for which the sets {i/r: i>=1}, {j/s: j>=1}, {k/t: k>=1} are pairwise disjoint. Let a(n) be the rank of n/r when all the numbers in the three sets are jointly ranked. Define b(n) and c(n) as the ranks of n/s and n/t. It is easy to prove that

%C a(n) = n+[ns/r]+[nt/r],

%C b(n) = n+[nr/s]+[nt/s],

%C c(n) = n+[nr/t]+[ns/t], where []=floor.

%C With r=2, s=(-1+sqrt(5))/2, t=(1+sqrt(5))/2 gives a=A189377, b=A189378, c=A189379.

%C (Conjecture) These are the numbers n such that (n+1)-sections of the Fibonacci word contain "000" (the commoner bit) but not "111" (the rarer bit). - _Don Reble_, Apr 07 2021

%C Conjecture proved April 8 2021, using the Walnut theorem prover. - _Jeffrey Shallit_, Apr 09 2021
