A138744 Let r_1 = 1. Let r_{m+1} = r_1 + 1/(r_2 + 1/(r_3 +...(r_{m-1} + 1/r_m)...)), a continued fraction of rational terms. Then a(n) is the sum of the (positive integer) terms in the simple continued fraction of r_n.

Example

r_5 = 31/18, for instance, equals the simple continued fraction 1+ 1/(1 + 1/(2 + 1/(1 + 1/(1 +1/2)))). The integer terms in this continued fraction are (1,1,2,1,1,2); so a(5) = 1+1+2+1+1+2 = 8.
