A086893 a(n) is the index of F(n+1) at the unique occurrence of the ordered pair of reversed consecutive terms (F(n+1),F(n)) in Stern's diatomic sequence A002487, where F(k) denotes the k-th term of the Fibonacci sequence A000045. +0

COMMENT

If the Fibonacci pairs are kept in the natural order (F(n),F(n+1)), it appears that the first term of the pair occurs in A002487 at the index given by A061547(n).

FORMULA

It appears that a(n)=(4^((n+1)/2)-1)/3 if n is odd, and a(n)=(a(n-1)+a(n+1))/2 if n is even.

G.f. : (1+2x-2x^2)/((1-x)(1-4x^2)); a(n)= 2^(n-1)(3-(-1)^n/3)-1/3 (offset 0); a(n)=sum{k=0..n+1, 4^floor(k/2)/2} (offset 0); a(2n)=A002450(n+1) (offset 0); a(2n+1)=A072197(n) (offset 0). - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), May 21 2004

EXAMPLE

A002487 begins 0,1,1,2,1,3,2,... with offset 0. Thus a(1)=1 since (F(2),F(1)) = (1,1) occurs at term 1 of A002487. Similarly, a(2)=3 and a(3)=5, since (F(3),F(2))=(2,1) occurs at term 3 and (F(4),F(3))=(3,2) at term 5 of A002487.
