%N Denominators of the continued fraction n-1/(n-1/...) [n times].

%C The (n-1)-th term of the Lucas sequence U(n,1). The numerator is the n-th term. Adjacent terms of the sequence U(n,1) are relatively prime.

%F a(n) = ChebyshevU(n-1,n/2). [From Gary Detlefs, Oct 15 2011]

%e a(4) = 56 because 4-1/(4-1/(4-1/4)) = 209/56.

%t Table[s=n; Do[s=n-1/s, {n-1}]; Denominator[s], {n, 20}]
