COMMENT

Conjecture: a(n) is approximately c*n, where c is the real root of x^5+x-1 = 0, c=0.754877666246692760049508896... - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Nov 05 2002

Rule of construction for the sequence: a(n) = An, where An denotes the Lam{\'}e antecessor to (or right shift of) n, which is found by replacing each Lm(i) (Lm(n) = Lm(n-1) + Lm(n-5): A003520 ) in the Zeckendorffian expansion (obtained by repeatedly subtracting the largest Lam{\'}e number you can until nothing remains) by Lm(i-1) (A1=1). For example: 58 = 45 + 11 + 2, so a(58)= 34 + 8 + 1 = 43. - Diego Torres (torresvillarroel(AT)hotmail.com), Nov 24 2002
