COMMENTS

This is one of three sequences that partition the positive integers. In general, suppose that r, s, t are positive real numbers for which the sets {i/r: i>=1}, {j/s: j>=1}, {k/t: k>=1} are pairwise disjoint. Let a(n) be the rank of n/r when all the numbers in the three sets are jointly ranked. Define b(n) and c(n) as the ranks of n/s and n/t. It is easy to prove that

a(n)=n+[ns/r]+[nt/r],

b(n)=n+[nr/s]+[nt/s],

c(n)=n+[nr/t]+[ns/t], where [ ]=floor.

Taking r=1, s=(-1+sqrt(5))/2, t=(1+sqrt(5))/2 gives a=A283233, b=A283234, c=A005843.

FORMULA

a(n) = 2*floor(n*r), where r = (1+sqrt(5))/2.

MATHEMATICA

r = 1; s = (-1 + 5^(1/2))/2; t = (1 + 5^(1/2))/2;

a[n_] := n + Floor[n*s/r] + Floor[n*t/r];

b[n_] := n + Floor[n*r/s] + Floor[n*t/s];
