%C Alternatively, Lucas representation of n includes L_0 = 2. - _Fred Lunnon_, Aug 25 2001

%C Conjecture: this is the sequence of numbers for which the base phi representation includes phi itself, where phi = (1 + sqrt(5))/2 = the golden ratio. Example: let r = phi; then 6 = r^3 + r + r^(-4). - _Clark Kimberling_, Oct 17 2012

%C This conjecture is proved in my paper 'Base phi representations and golden mean beta-expansions', using the formula by Wilson/Agol/Carlitz et al. - _Michel Dekking_, Jun 25 2019

%C Numbers whose minimal Lucas representation (A130310) ends with 1. - _Amiram Eldar_, Jan 21 2023

%F a(n) = floor(((5+sqrt(5))/2)*n)-1 (conjectured by _David W. Wilson_; proved by Ian Agol (iagol(AT)math.ucdavis.edu), Jun 08 2000)

%F a(n) = A000201(n) + 2*n - 1. - _Michel Dekking_, Sep 07 2017

%F G.f.: x*(x+1)/(1-x)^2 + Sum_{i>=1} (floor(i*phi)*x^i), where phi = (1 + sqrt(5))/2. - _Iain Fox_, Dec 19 2017

%F Ian Agol tells me that David W. Wilson's formula is proved in the Carlitz, Scoville, Hoggatt paper 'Lucas representations'. See Equation (1.12), and use A(A(n))+n = B(n)+n-1 = A(n)+2*n-1, the well known formulas for the lower Wythoff sequence A = A000201, and the upper Wythoff sequence B = A001950. - _Michel Dekking_, Jan 04 2018
