(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A064847 Sequence is a(m), where a(1) = b(1) = 1, a(n+1) = a(n) * b(n), b(n+1) = a(n) + b(n). 6

COMMENTS

Consider the mapping f(a/b) = (a + b)/(ab). Taking a = 1 b = 1 to start with and carrying out this mapping repeatedly on each new (reduced) rational number gives the following sequence 1/1, 2/1, 3/2, 5/6, 11/30, ... Sequence contains the denominators. - Amarnath Murthy (amarnath_murthy(AT)yahoo.com), Mar 24 2003

FORMULA

a(n+2) = a(n+1)*(a(n+1)/a(n) + a(n)).

lim n -> infinity a(n)/A003686(n)^PHI=1 where PHI=(1+sqrt(5))/2 is the golden ratio. - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), May 08 2002

Denominator of b(n) where b(n) = 1/numer(b(n-1)) + 1/denom(b(n-1)), b(1)=1. Cf. A003686. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Aug 15 2002
