In One Sequence Or Another

Hmmm... Do you know what the non-Fibonacci numbers' recursive definition 
is?
Does their direct formula involve powers of (3 + sqrt(5))/2 somehow?
(Just a guess. Perhaps the formula does not.)


Second, Marc LeBrun's email on this topic got me to wondering about 
sequences derived from other sequences of distinct positive integers via 
floor(f(k)) or ceiling(f(k)).

For example, if we have a sequence {a(k)} where this sequence's ordinary 
generating function           or exponential generating function, f(x), 
is monotonically increasing, is positive, and is defined for all positive 
x (even if only by analytical continuation for some x's),

then we can have the sequence transforms

b(k) = floor(f(k)),

c(k) = ceiling(f(k)),

d(k) = floor(f(k)) + k,

and

e(k) = ceiling(f(k)) +k-1.

(I include the last 2 because of my result in this thread's original 
message.)
