A104177 A variation on Flavius's sieve (A000960): Start with the natural numbers; at the k-th sieving step, remove every f-th term of the sequence remaining after the (k-1)-st sieving step, where f is the (k+2)-nd Fibonacci number, f=F(k+2); iterate. +0

COMMENT

This sequence is approximately as dense as the lucky numbers or primes: there are 195 of these numbers, 153 lucky numbers and 168 primes less than 1000.

EXAMPLE

Start with

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 ... (A000027)

First sieving step: Delete every 2nd term (2=F(1+2)), giving

1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 ... (A005408)

2nd sieving step: Delete every 3rd term (3=F(2+2)), giving

1 3 7 9 13 15 19 21 25 27 31 ... (A056530)

3rd sieving step: Delete every 5th (5=F(3+2)) term, giving

1 3 7 9 15 19 21 25 31 ...

4th sieving step: Delete every 8th (8=F(4+2)) term, giving

1 3 7 9 15 19 21 31 ...

Continue forever and whatever remains is the sequence.
