Bosma–Dekking–Steiner metallic-mean iteration conjecture
Bosma–Dekking–Steiner metallic-mean iteration conjecture
For an integer , let be the -th metallic mean, so that . Let be the unique positive real number such that all terms defined by
are positive. Bosma, Dekking, and Steiner's conjecture. The iterative sequence equals the Beatty sequence
This conjecture concerns extending the known iterated-function description from the displayed example to all metallic means; its resolution is not given in the supplied text.
