(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A071293 a(0)=1, a(n) is the smallest integer > a(n-1) such that the continued fraction for 1/a(0)+1/a(1)+1/a(2)+...+1/a(n) contains exactly 2^n elements. 0

EXAMPLE

The continued fraction for 1/a(0)+1/a(1)+1/5 = 1+1/2+1/5 is {1, 1, 2, 3} which contains 2^2 elements. 5 is the smallest integer > 2 with this property, hence a(2)=5.

PROG

(PARI) s=1; t=1; for(n=1, 5, s=s+1/t; while(abs(2^n-length(contfrac(s+1/t)))>0, t++); print1(t, ", "))
