COMMENTS

Stern's diatomic array read by rows (version 4).

This sequence divided by A049456 gives another version of the Stern-Brocot tree.

Row n has length 2^n + 1.

Define mediant of a/b and c/d to be (a+c)/(b+d). We get A006842/A006843 if we omit terms from n-th row in which denominator exceeds n.

FORMULA

Row 1 is 0/1, 1/1. Obtain row n from row n-1 by inserting mediants between each pair of terms.

EXAMPLE

0/1, 1/1; 0/1, 1/2, 1/1; 0/1, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 1/1; 0/1, 1/4, 1/3, 2/5, 1/2, 3/5, 2/3, 3/4, 1/1; 0/1, 1/5, 1/4, 2/7, 1/3, 3/8, 2/5, 3/7, 1/2, ... = A049455/A049456
