1. Transforming the Problem:
We start by noting that the bug can move from position x=a to either x=a+2 or x=2a. We need to determine the number of distinct positions the bug can reach in at most n steps starting from x=1.
2. Characterizing Reachable Positions:
We observe that the bug's position after any number of steps can be written in the form 2qp, where p is an odd integer and q≥0. This is because starting from x=1, which is 201, each step either adds 2 (which keeps the numerator odd) or divides by 2 (which increases the power of 2 in the denominator).
3. **Defining the Function f(n,m)**:
We define f(n,m) as the minimum number of steps required to reach 2m2n+1 from 1. We can derive the following:
- f(n,0)=n because to reach 2n+1 from 1, we need n steps of adding 2.
- For n≥2m, f(n,m)=f(n−2m,m)+1 because we can reach 2m2n+1 by first reaching 2m2(n−2m)+1 and then adding 2.
- For n<2m, f(n,m)=f(n,m−1)+1 because we can reach 2m2n+1 by first reaching 2m−12n+1 and then dividing by 2.
4. Vengeful Pairs:
We call a pair (n,m) vengeful if n≤2m+1−1. We claim that for all x∈X, the number of vengeful pairs (n,m) such that f(n,m)=x is Fx+1. This can be shown by induction on m.
5. Inductive Proof:
We prove by induction that the number of pairs (n,m) such that f(n,m)=x is Fx+2−1:
- Base case: For x=0, f(0,0)=0 and no other pairs satisfy f(n,m)=0, so the count is 1.
- Inductive step: Assume the statement holds for x=k. For x=k+1, let Sx and Sx+1 be the sets of pairs such that f(n,m)=x and f(n,m)=x+1, respectively. We construct a function g from Sx+1 to Sx and show that ∣Sx+1∣=∣Sx∣+v(x), where v(x) is the number of vengeful pairs with f(n,m)=x. By induction, ∣Sx+1∣=Fx+2−1+Fx+1=Fx+3−1.
6. Conclusion:
By the lemma, the number of pairs (n,m) such that f(n,m)≤x is F2−1+F3−1+⋯+Fx+2−1=Fx+4−(x+4).
The final answer is Fn+4−(n+4)
