%N a(n) = b(n) - 2*b(b(b(n))) for n >= 3, where b(n) = A356988(n).

%C a(n+1) - a(n) is equal to 0, 1 or -1.

%C The sequence vanishes at abscissa values n = 3, 6, 9, 15, 24, 39, ..., 3*Fibonacci(k), ....

%C For k >= 2, the line graph of the sequence, starting from the zero value at abscissa n = 3*Fibonacci(k), ascends with slope 1 to a local plateau at height Fibonacci(k-1) at abscissa value n = Lucas(k+1). The plateau has length Fibonacci(k-1). From the end of the plateau, at abscissa value n = Fibonacci(k+3), the graph of the sequence descends with slope -1 to the next zero at abscissa n = 3*Fibonacci(k+1).

%F For k >= 2 there holds

%F a(3*Fibonacci(k) + j) = j for 0 <= j <= Fibonacci(k-1) (rise from 0 to plateau)

%F a(Lucas(k+1) + j) = Fibonacci(k-1) for 0 <= j <= Fibonacci(k-1) (plateau)

%F a(Fibonacci(k+3) + j) = Fibonacci(k-1) - j for 0 <= j <= Fibonacci(k-1) (descent back to 0).

%p # b(n) = A356988(n)

%p b := proc(n) option remember; if n = 1 then 1 else n - b(b(n - b(b(b(n-1))))) end if; end proc:

%p seq( b(n) - 2*b(b(b(n))), n = 3..100);
