The Wythoff compound sequences: Let A = A000201, B = A001950. Then AA = A003622, AB = A003623, BA = A035336, BB = A101864. The eight triples AAA, AAB, ..., BBB are A134859, A134860, A035337, A134862, A134861, A134863, A035338, A134864, resp.
The following sequences are all essentially the same, in the sense that they are simple transformations of each other, with A000201 as the parent: A000201, A001030, A001468, A001950, A003622, A003842, A003849, A004641, A005614, A014675, A022342, A088462, A096270, A114986, A124841. - N.

Formula
a(n) = floor(n*phi) + n - 1. [Corrected by Jianing Song, Aug 18 2022]
a(n) = floor(floor(n*phi)*phi) = A000201(A000201(n)). [See the Mathematics Stack Exchange link for a proof of the equivalence of the definition. - Jianing Song, Aug 18 2022]
G.f.: 1 - (1-x)*Sum_{n>=1} x^a(n) = 1/1 + x/1 + x^2/1 + x^3/1 + x^5/1 + x^8/1 + ... + x^F(n)/1 + ... (continued fraction where F(n)=n-th Fibonacci number). - Paul D. Hanna, Aug 16 2002
a(n) = A001950(n) - 1. - Philippe Deléham, Apr 30 2004
a(n) = A022342(n) + n. - Philippe Deléham, May 03 2004
a(n) = a(n-1) + 2 + A005614(n-2); also a(n) = a(n-1) + 1 + A001468(n-1). - A.H.M. Smeets, Apr 26 2024
