a(n) gives the position of the inverse of the n-th term in the full Stern-Brocot tree: A007305(a(n)+2) = A047679(n) and A047679(a(n)) = A007305(n+2). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Dec 22 2008

From Gary W. Adamson, Jun 21 2012: (Start)

The mapping and conversion rules are as follows:

By rows, we have ...

1;

3, 2;

7, 6, 5, 4;

15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8;

... onto which we are to map one-half of the Stern-Brocot infinite Farey Tree:

1/2

1/3, 2/3

1/4, 2/5, 3/5, 3/4

1/5, 2/7, 3/8, 3/7, 4/7, 5/8, 5/7, 4/5

...

The conversion rules are: Convert the decimal to binary, adding a duplicate of the rightmost binary term to its right. For example, 10 = 1010, which becomes 10100. Then, from the left, record the number of runs = [1,1,1,2], the continued fraction representation of 5/8. Check: 10 decimal corresponds to 5/8 as shown in the overlaid mapping. Take decimal 9 = 1001 which becomes 10011, with a continued fraction representation of [1,2,2] = 5/7. Check: 9 decimal corresponds to 5/7 in the Farey Tree map. (End)

a(n) is the value generated when n is converted into its Elias gamma code, the 1's and 0's are interchanged and the resultant is converted back to its decimal value for all values of n > 1. For n = 1, A054429(n) = 1 but after converting 1 to Elias gamma code, interchanging the 1's and 0's and converting it back to decimal, the result produced is 0.

For example, let n = 10. The Elias gamma code for 10 is '1110010'. After interchanging the 1's and 0's it becomes "0001101" and 1101_2 = 13_10. So a(10) = 13. (End)
