COMMENTS

A proper definition is needed.

This method converts a definite sequence of rational numbers into a sequence of Integers. The sequences of the type: f[0] = a0; f[1] = b0; f[n_] := f[n] = (A[m]/B[m])*f[n - 1] - f[n - 2] and M = {{0, 1}, {-1, (A[m]/B[m])}}; v[0] = {a0, bo}; v[n_] := v[n] = M.v[n - 1] are important because they represent an integer based Hilbert space. Because it should be possible to do the equivalent of Fourier expansions in integer recursions using them. Because you can also define orthogonality on integer sequences using them.

FORMULA

C[m] = A[m]/B[m], a(n) = {A[m],B[m]}

MATHEMATICA

o = Table[Abs[Coefficient[ExpandAll[(x - (a + I*Sqrt[2*a + 1])/(a + 1))*(x - ( a - I*Sqrt[2*a + 1])/(a + 1))], x]], {a, 1, 100}]; rational = Table[{Numerator[o[[n]]], Denominator[o[[n]]]}, {n, 2, 100}]; Flatten[rational]
