COMMENTS

See A214992 for a discussion of power ceiling-floor sequence and power ceiling-floor function, p3(x) = limit of a(n,x)/x^n. The present sequence is a(n,r), where r = sqrt(5), and the limit p3(r) = 2.79135723025040661923369247589566824549062...

FORMULA

a(n) = floor(x*a(n-1)) if n is odd, a(n) = ceiling(x*a(n-1)) if n is even, where x=sqrt(5) and a(0) = ceiling(x).

EXAMPLE

a(0) = ceiling(r) = 3, where r = sqrt(5);

a(1) = floor(3*r) = 6; a(2) = ceiling(6*r) = 14.
