%C A239640 The n-bonacci constant is a unique root x_1>1 of the equation x^n-x^(n-1)-...-x-1=0. So, for n=2 we have Fibonacci constant phi or golden ratio (A001622); for n=3 we have tribonacci constant (A058265); for n=4 we have tetranacci constant (A086088), for n=5 (A103814), for n=6 (A118427), etc.

%e A239640 Let n=2, then c_2 = phi (Fibonacci constant). We have round(c_2^2)=3 is not == 1 (mod 4), round(c_2^3)=4 is not == 1 (mod 6), while round(c_2^5)=11 == 1 (mod 10) and one can prove that for p>=5, we have round(c_2^p) == 1 (mod 2*p). Since 5=prime(3), then a(2)=3.
