COMMENT

a(0)=0, a(1)=2; for n>1, a(n)=a(n-1)+2 if n is already in the sequence, a(n)=a(n-1)+1 otherwise.

Integer solutions to the equation x=ceiling(phi*floor(x/phi)) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Feb 14 2004

Benoit Cloitre, Mar 05 2007: (Start) The following is an alternative way to obtain this sequence. NP means "term not in parentheses". Write down the natural numbers and mark the least NP, which is 1:

1* 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 ...

Take the 1st NP (which is 1) and parenthesize it; mark the least NP (which is 2):

(1*) 2* 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 ...

Take the 2nd NP (which is 3) and parenthesize it; mark the next NP (which is 4):

(1*) 2* (3) 4* 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 ...

Take the 4th NP (which is 6) and parenthesize it; mark the next NP (which is 5):

(1*) 2* (3) 4* 5* (6) 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 ...

Continuing in this way we obtain

(1*) 2* (3) 4* 5* (6) 7* (8) 9* 10* (11) 12* 13* (14) 15* (16) 17* (18) 19* ...

The starred entries (after the first) give the sequence. (End)
