Seqfans,
Very interesting note, Max.

Consider just one of Benoit Cloitre's nice sequences:
A083662: a(n)=a([n/2])+a([n/4]), n>0. a(0)=1.
COMMENT:
"For n>0, a(n) = F([log(n)/log(2)]+3) where F(k) denotes the k-th
Fibonacci number.
For n>=3, F(n) appears 2^(n-3) times.
More generally, if p is an integer>1 and
a(n)=a([n/p])+a([n/p^2]), n>0, a(0)=1,
then for n>0,
a(n) = F([log(n)/log(p)]+3)."
Though very different, it is a noteworthy variant.
