COMMENTS

Let f(1)=1, f(2)=q and f(k+2) = f(k+1)+f(k)-n; a(n) is the smallest positive integer q such that f(k) -> infinity as k -> infinity. - Benoit Cloitre, Aug 04 2002

FORMULA

For n>0, a(n) = floor((n-1)*phi) + 2, where phi=(1+sqrt(5))/2.

Recurrences: a(n+1) = a(n)+(3 + sign(phi*n-a(n)))/2 for n>=0. Also a(n+1) = a(n) + 1 + A005614(n-2) for n>=2. - Benoit Cloitre, Aug 04 2002
