COMMENT

Partial sums of A001950.

A001950 is the upper Beatty sequence for the constant Phi^2, where Phi = (1 + sqrt(5))/2, and the sequence is generated by floor(n*Phi). A054347 = partial sums of the lower Beatty sequence (A000201). Conjecture: a(n)/A054347(n) tends to Phi. Example: a(28)/A054347(28) = 1049/643 = 1.6314...

FORMULA

a(n) = Sum(1, n) floor(n*Phi^2)

a(n) = floor( n*(n+1)/2*phi^2- n/2) +0 or +1. - Benoit Cloitre, Sep 27 2003

EXAMPLE

A001950(1) = 2, then 5, 7, 10, 13...; partial sums are 2, 7, 14, 24, 37...

MATHEMATICA

a[0] = 0; a[n_] := a[n] = (a[n - 1] + Floor[n*(1 + Sqrt[5])^2/4]); Table[ a[n], {n, 1, 50}] (from Robert G. Wilson v)
