COMMENT

Inverse of the Lucas sequence (A000032), since a(Lucas(n))=n for n>=0 (see A130241 and A130242 for other versions). Same as A130241 except for n=1.

FORMULA

a(n)=c(n), if (n^2-4)/5 is a square number, a(n)=s(n), if (n^2+4)/5 is a square number and a(n)=floor(log_phi(n)) else, where s(n)=floor(arsinh(n/2)/ln(phi)), c(n)=floor(arcosh(n/2)/ln(phi)) and phi=(1+sqr(5))/2.

a(n)=A130241(n) except for n=2.

G.f.: g(x)=1/(1-x)*sum{k>=1, x^Lucas(k)}-x^2.

a(n)=floor(log_phi(n+1/2)) for n>=3, where phi is the golden ratio.

EXAMPLE

a(2)=0, since Lucas(0)=2; a(10)=4, since Lucas(4)=7<10 but Lucas(5)=11>10.
