COMMENTS
Conjecture: a(n) = floor(n*t) - A003144(n), where t is the tribonacci constant A058265. - N. J. A. Sloane, Oct 28 2016 (Changed from an assertion to a conjecture by N. J. A. Sloane, Mar 19 2019.)
Theorem: floor(n*t) - A003144(n) is always in {-1, 0, 1}, but the first place where it equals -1 is n = 12737. - Jeffrey Shallit, Nov 19 2016
It follows from Theorem 18 in the Carlitz, Scoville and Hoggatt paper that the values -1, 0 and 1 are taken infinitely often. - Michel Dekking, Mar 19 2019
