Partitioning the positive integers with higher order recurrences

Associated with any irrational number α>1 and the function g(n)=[αn+12] is an array {s(i,j)} of positive integers defined inductively as follows: s(1,1)=1, s(1,j)=g(s(1,j−1)) for all j≥2, s(i,1)= the least positive integer not among s(h,j) for h≤i−1 for i≥2, and s(i,j)=g(s(i,j−1)) for j≥2. This w...
