%N Beatty sequence for (3+sqrt(29))/5.

%C Let r = (3+sqrt(29))/5. Then (floor(n*r)) and (floor(n*r + 4r/5)) are a pair of Beatty sequences; i.e., every positive integer is in exactly one of the sequences. See the Guide to related sequences at A329825.

%F a(n) = floor(n*r), where r = (3+sqrt(29))/5.
