How does the last method (modified Fibonacci sequence) so on the d* measure ?

Interesting question... I just calculated that
for the modified Fibonacci sequence (last method): 2.95 < d_N < 3.12.
Technically d* does not exist, because as N-> infinity, d* alternates between 3.03 and 3.07 (depending on if k is odd or even).
Compare this to the canonical fibonacci sequence gives a value of d_N = 3.07 for all values of N, and so d* = 3.07
