EXAMPLE

First arrange fractions by increasing denominator then by increasing numerator:

1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 2/3, 1/4, 3/4, 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, ... (this is A038566/A038567);

now follow each term by its reciprocal:

1/1, 1/2, 2/1, 1/3, 3/1, 2/3, 3/2, 1/4, 4/1, 3/4, 4/3, ... (this is A038568/A038569).

MAPLE

with (numtheory): A038569 := proc (n) local sum, j, k; sum := 1: k := 2: while (sum < n) do: sum := sum + 2 * phi(k): k := k + 1: od: sum := sum - 2 * phi(k-1): j := 1: while sum < n do: if gcd(j, k-1) = 1 then sum := sum + 2: fi: j := j+1: od: if sum > n then RETURN (k-1) fi: RETURN (j-1): end: # from UlrSchimke(AT)aol.com, Oct 31, 2001

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := Module[{s = 1, k = 2, j = 1}, While[s <= n, s = s + 2*EulerPhi[k]; k = k+1]; s = s - 2*EulerPhi[k-1]; While[s <= n, If[GCD[j, k-1] == 1, s = s+2]; j = j+1]; If[s > n+1, k-1, j-1]]; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 99}](* From Jean-François Alcover, Nov 10 2011, after Maple *)
