a(0) = 1 + 2*[0*phi] = 1 + 2*0 = 1.
a(1) = 1 + 2*[1*phi] = 1 + 2*[1.6180339887498948482045868343] = 1 + 2*1 = 3.
a(2) = 1 + 2*[2*phi] = 1 + 2*[3.2360679774997896964091736687] = 1 + 2*3 = 7.
a(3) = 1 + 2*[3*phi] = 1 + 2*[4.8541019662496845446137605030] = 1 + 2*4 = 9.
a(4) = 1 + 2*[4*phi] = 1 + 2*[6.4721359549995793928183473374] = 1 + 2*6 = 13.
a(5) = 1 + 2*[5*phi] = 1 + 2*[8.0901699437494742410229341718] = 1 + 2*8 = 17.
a(6) = 1 + 2*[6*phi] = 1 + 2*[9.7082039324993690892275210061] = 1 + 2*9 = 19.
a(7) = 1 + 2*[7*phi] = 1 + 2*[11.326237921249263937432107840] = 1 + 2*11 = 23.
a(8) = 1 + 2*[8*phi] = 1 + 2*[12.944271909999158785636694674] = 1 + 2*12 = 25.
a(9) = 1 + 2*[9*phi] = 1 + 2*[14.562305898749053633841281509] = 1 + 2*14 = 29.
a(10) = 1 + 2*[10*phi] = 1 + 2*[16.180339887498948482045868343] = 1 + 2*16 = 33.
