%N Number of recursive calls needed to compute the n-th Fibonacci number F(n), starting with F(1) = F(2) = 1.

%C Let g = F(2) + F(3) + ... + F(n) = F(n+2) - 2. Some numbers in the range [0,g] have unique representations of the form Sum_{i=1..n} a(i)*F(i) where each a(i) is 1 or -1. These numbers have the form g-k for k in the sequence. - Louis ten Bosch (louis_ten_bosch(AT)hotmail.com), Jan 01 2003

%C a(n+2) = Sum_{k=0..n} Fibonacci(n-k) + k*Fibonacci(n-k).
