Comments

Let x be the real solution of 1/x + 1/(1+x+x^2) = 1. Then (floor(n x)) and (floor(n*(x^2 + x + 1)))) 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.

Formula

a(n) = floor(n x), where x = 1.324717... is the constant in A060006.

Mathematica

Solve[1/x + 1/(1 + x + x^2) == 1, x]
u = 1/3 (27/2 - (3 Sqrt[69])/2)^(1/3) + (1/2 (9 + Sqrt[69]))^(1/3)/3^(2/3);
u1 = N[u, 150]
RealDigits[u1, 10][[1]]  (* A060006 *)
