%N A079936 Greedy frac multiples of sqrt(5): a(1)=1, sum(n>0,frac(a(n)*x))=1 at 
               x=sqrt(5).
%C A079936 The n-th greedy frac multiple of x is the smallest integer that does 
               not cause sum(k=1..n,frac(a(k)*x)) to exceed unity; an infinite number 
               of terms appear as the denominators of the convergents to the continued 
               fraction of x.
%F A079936 For n>=0, a(6n+1)=A001076(4n+1); a(6n+2)=2a(6n+1); a(6n+3)=A001076(4n+1)+A001076(4n+2); 
               a(6n+4)=A001076(4n+3)-A001076(4n+2); a(6n+5)=A001076(4n+3); a(6n+6)=2a(6n+5). 
               Asymptotics: a(6n) -> 2*sqrt(5)*(tau)^(12n-3); a(6n+2)/a(6n+1) -> 
               (tau)^2; a(6n+3)/a(6n+2) -> (tau)^2; a(6n+4)/a(6n+3) -> (tau)^2/2; 
               a(6n+6)/a(6n+5) -> (tau)^6/2; where tau = (1+sqrt(5))/2.
%e A079936 a(4) = 13 since frac(1x) + frac(2x) + frac(5x) + frac(13x) < 1, while 
               frac(1x) + frac(2x) + frac(5x) + frac(k*x) > 1 for all k>5 and k<13.
%Y A079936 Cf. A001076 (denominators of convergents to sqrt(5)), A079934, A079935, 
               A079937.
