FORMULA
a(n) = floor(n*log(phi)/log(10)) +0 or +1 where phi is the golden ratio. - Benoit Cloitre, Oct 29 2002. [Corrected by Hans J. H. Tuenter, Jul 07 2025].
a(n) = floor(n*log_10(phi) - log_10(5)/2) + 1 for n >= 2, where phi is (1+sqrt(5))/2. - Herman Jamke (hermanjamke(AT)fastmail.fm), May 01 2007
a(n) = A055642(A000045(n)). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 09 2013
