COMMENTS

Let r = (5 - sqrt(5))/2 and s = (5 + sqrt(5))/2. Then 1/r + 1/s = 1, so that A249115 and A003231 are a pair of complementary Beatty sequences. Let tau = (1 + sqrt(5))/2, the golden ratio. Let R = {h*tau, h >= 1} and S = {k*(tau - 1), k >= 1}. Then A249115(n) is the position of n*(tau - 1) in the ordered union of R and S.
