Clark Kimberling, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000
EXAMPLE
First eight rows:
5
12 12
21 8 21
8 60 60 8
5 24 13 24 5
60 140 12 12 140 60
77 12 285 5 285 12 77
24 28 44 120 120 44 28 24
The number whose continued fraction is periodic with period (1,1) is the golden ratio, (1+sqrt(5))/2, so that the number in row 1 is 5.
As a square array A(n,k) read by antidiagonals, where A(n,k) corresponds to the continued fraction with pure period (n,k):
