COMMENTS
Consider the sequence b = A116470 consisting of all the Fibonacci numbers and Lucas numbers. For n>=0, let k(1) be the greatest k in the basis b = {b(k)} such that b(k) <= n, let k(2) be the greatest k in b such that k <= n-b(k(1)), and so on, resulting in the greedy b-representation (to be abbreviated as "rep") of n. For comparison with the rep using A000045 as basis (called Zeckendorf, or Fibonacci, rep) and also with the rep using A000032 as basis (called the Lucas rep), it is natural to ask this: what terms in b can possibly follow a given term b(k)? The answer follows.
If b(k) < 21 = b(11), the terms that can follow b(k) are easily found and not recorded here. Otherwise, if k is odd, then b(k) can be followed by b(k-i) for some i>=5; if k is even, then b(k) can be followed by b(k-i) for some i>=8. In Zeckendorf and Lucas reps, the "lag" is k-i for i>=2.
Conjecture: a(A049651(n)) = n and this is the first instance of n in the sequence for all n > 0. In other words, apart from its initial term, A049651 is the RECORDS transform of this sequence. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Oct 14 2021

FORMULA
Conjecture: a(n) = A329320(A048679(n)) for n > 0 (noticed by Sequence Machine). - Mikhail Kurkov, Oct 13 2021 [verification needed]
EXAMPLE
Let F, L, U denote the Fibonacci (aka Zeckendorf), Lucas, and greedy F-union-L representations. Then 45 = 34+8+3 (F) = 29+11+4+1 (L) = 34+11 (U), which shows that a(45) = 2 and that the U representation of 45 requires fewer terms than the others; 45 is the least number having this property.
MATHEMATICA
s = Reverse[Union[Flatten[Table[{Fibonacci[n + 1], LucasL[n - 1]}, {n, 1, 22}]]]]; Map[Length[Select[Reap[FoldList[(Sow[Quotient[#1, #2]]; Mod[#1, #2]) &, #, s]]
[[2, 1]], # > 0 &]] &, Range[120]]
