Examples
From _Petros Hadjicostas_, Nov 08 2019: (Start) A049998(1) = 1 = Fibonacci(1) = Fibonacci(2), so a(1) = min(1,2) = 1. A049998(7) = 2 = Fibonacci(3), so a(7) = 3. A049998(10) = 3 = Fibonacci(4), so a(10) = 4. A049998(13) = 5 = Fibonacci(5), so a(13) = 5. A049998(17) = 8 = Fibonacci(6), so a(17) = 6. (End)
