Wythoff-Fibonacci Sequences and a Perturbed Greedy Almost-involution
Abstract
We introduce the lower and upper Wythoff-Fibonacci sequences, obtained from the classical Wythoff sequences by a Fibonacci correction. Specifically, if we put where is the -th Fibonacci number, then we define the general terms of the lower and upper Wythoff-Fibonacci sequences by and respectively. We show that these sequences partition the set of natural numbers and use them to give an explicit formula for a sequence , defined from a greedy construction studied by the first author and his coauthors in a previous paper, but with the additional condition that , instead of being defined by the greedy rule. This sequence is a permutation of the set of non-negative integers and has the property that every integer appears exactly once in the sequence of differences . We prove that , so that is an almost-involution. We also give another greedy algorithm generating .
