%N Number of real integers in n-th generation of tree T(r) defined in Comments, where r^2 = -r - 1 (i.e., r = (-1 + sqrt(3))/2).

%C Let T* be the infinite tree with root 0 generated by these rules: if p is in T*, then p+1 is in T* and x*p is in T*. Let g(n) be the set of nodes in the n-th generation, so that g(0) = {0}, g(1) = {1}, g(2) = {2,x}, g(3) = {3,2x,x+1,x^2}, etc. Let T(r) be the tree obtained by substituting r for x.

%C See A274142 for a guide to related sequences.

%e If r = (-1 + sqrt(3))/2), then g(3) = {3,2r,r+1, r^2}, in which the number of real integers is a(3) = 1.

%t z = 18; t = Join[{{0}}, Expand[NestList[DeleteDuplicates[Flatten[Map[{# + 1, x*#} &, #], 1]] &, {1}, z]]];

%t u = Table[t[[k]] /. x -> (-1 + 3 I)/2, {k, 1, z}]; Table[
