%N 1st Lucas-Wythoff array (w(n,k)), by antidiagonals; see Comments.

%C Let (L(n)) be the Lucas sequence, A000032. Every positive integer n is a unique sum of distinct nonconsecutive Lucas numbers as given by the greedy algorithm. Let m(n) be the least term in this representation. Column 1 of the array shows the numbers n having m(n) = L(1); column 2 shows those n having m(n) = L(0) = 2. For k >= 3, column k shows those n having m(n) = L(k). The array is comparable to the Wythoff array, A035513, in which column k shows the numbers whose Zeckendorf representation (a sum of nonconsecutive Fibonacci numbers, A000045) has least term F(k+2).

%C The 1st Lucas-Wythoff array has increasing rows and increasing columns, and every positive integer occurs exactly once. However, the Fibonacci recurrence for rows (as in the Wythoff array), does not hold. Deleting column 2 leaves the 2nd Lucas-Wythoff array (A335500), in which the Fibonacci recurrence holds for rows.

%F Define u(n,k) = [n*r]L(k) + (n-1)L(k-1), where L = A000032 (Lucas numbers), r = golden ratio (A001622) and [ ] = floor. Then

%F column 1: w(n,1) = u(n,1);

%F column 2: w(n,2) = k + [r*[r*n]];

%F column k, for k >=3: w(n,k) = u(n,k-1).
