COMMENTS
For x > 0, define c(x,0) = x and c(x,n) = [c(x,0), ..., c(x,n-1)]. We call f(x) the self-generating continued fraction with first term x. See A229779.
EXAMPLE
c(x,0) = x, so that c(1/2,0) = 1/2;
c(x,1) = [x, x], so that c(1/2,1) = 5/2;
c(x,2) = [x, x, [x, x]], so that c(1/2,2) = 29/18 = 1.6111...;
c(x,3) = [x, x, [x, x], [x, x, [x, x]]], so that c(1/2,3) = 1021/594 = 1.718...;
c(1/2,4) = 1352509/798930 = 1.6929...
f(1/2) = 1.697304470071282694312510941949565841701320863554...
