%N Index of 1/n in the Fibonacci (or rabbit) ordering of the positive rationals.

%C The Fibonacci ordering of the rationals (cf. A226080) is the sequence of rationals produced from the initial vector [1] by appending iteratively the new rationals obtained by applying the map t-> (t+1, 1/t) to the vector (cf. example).

%C Apart from initial terms, the same as A001611=(1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 6,...), A020706=(4,6,9,...), A048577=(3, 4, 6, ...), A000381=(2, 3, 4, ...).

%F a(n) = 2*a(n-1)-a(n-3) for n>4. G.f.: -x*(2*x^3+2*x^2-2*x-1) / ((x-1)*(x^2+x-1)). - _Colin Barker_, Jun 03 2013

%F a(n) = 1+(2^(-1-n)*((1-sqrt(5))^n*(-3+sqrt(5))+(1+sqrt(5))^n*(3+sqrt(5))))/sqrt(5) for n>1. - _Colin Barker_, May 11 2016

%F E.g.f.: -2*(1 + x) + exp(x) + (3*sqrt(5)*sinh(sqrt(5)*x/2) + 5*cosh(sqrt(5)*x/2))*exp(x/2)/5. - _Ilya Gutkovskiy_, May 11 2016

%e Starting from the vector [1] and applying the map t->(1+t,1/t), we get [2,1] (but ignore the number 1 which already occurred earlier), then [3,1/2], then [4,1/3,3/2,2] (where we ignore 2), etc. This yields the sequence (1,2,3,1/2,4,1/3,3/2,5,1/4,4/3,5/2,2/3,....) The unit fractions 1=1/1, 1/2, 1/3, ... occur at positions 1,4,6,9,...
