A237568 Fibonacci-like sequence of numbers with nondecreasing positive digits. Let a^+ denote the number that is obtained from a if its positive digits are written in nondecreasing order, while zeros remain in their places. Let a<+>b = (a + b)^+. a(0)=0, a(1)=1, for n>=2, a(n) = a(n-1) <+> a(n-2).

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 12, 25, 37, 26, 36, 26, 26, 25, 15, 40, 55, 59, 114, 137, 125, 226, 135, 136, 127, 236, 336, 257, 359, 166, 255, 124, 379, 305, 468, 377, 458, 358, 168, 256, 244, 500, 447, 479, 269, 478, 477, 559, 1036, 1559, 2559, 1148, 3707, 4558, 2568, 1267, 3358, 2456, 1458, 1349, 2708, 4057, 5667, 2479, 1468, 3479, 4479, 5789, 10268, 15067, 23355, 22348

Comments

Note that operation n^+ differs from the one in A004185. If a term of the sequence has k digits, then it is followed by terms with >=k digits. The sequence has 7 terms with 1 digit, 13 terms with 2 digits, 30 terms with 3 digits, etc. The corresponding maximal terms are 8, 59, 559, etc.

The sequence is eventually periodic with period of length 144 and the first position of period 237. - Peter J. C. Moses, Feb 09 2014
