COMMENTS
Suppose that s = (s(n)) and t = (t(n)) are integer sequences. The lower midsequence, m = m(s,t), of s and t is defined by m(n) = floor((s(n) + t(n))/2). The upper midsequence, M = M(s,t), is defined by M(n) = ceiling((s(n) + t(n))/2).

FORMULA
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + a(n-3) - a(n-4) - a(n-5) for n >= 5.
G.f.: (1 + 2 x - 2 x^3 - 2 x^4)/(1 - x - x^2 - x^3 + x^4 + x^5).
G.f.: ((1 + 2 x - 2 x^3 - 2 x^4)/((-1 + x) (-1 + x + x^2) (1 + x + x^2))).
a(n) = (10 + 3*((5 - 4*sqrt(5))*(1 - sqrt(5))^n + (1 + sqrt(5))^n*(5 + 4*sqrt(5)))/2^n - 10*cos(2*n*Pi/3))/30. - Stefano Spezia, Jul 17 2022
EXAMPLE
a(0) = 1 = ceiling((1+1)/2);
a(1) = 3 = ceiling((2+3)/2);
a(2) = 4 = ceiling((3+4)/2).
The Fibonacci and Lucas numbers are interspersed:
1 < 2 < 3 < 4 < 5 < 7 < 8 < 11 < 13 < 18 < 21 < 29 < ...
The midsequences m and M intersperse the ordered union of the Fibonacci and Lucas sequences, A116470, as indicated by the following table:
F m M L
1 1 1 1
2 2 3 3
3 3 4 4
5 6 6 7
8 9 10 11
13 15 16 18
21 25 25 29
