COMMENTS
|
The depth level of a rational in the Calkin-Wilf tree is the sum of its continued fraction terms, with the root (1/1) as level 1 for this purpose. So the present sequence is partial sums of the continued fraction terms of e (A003417). Depth levels are the same in the related trees Stern-Brocot, Bird, etc. - Kevin Ryde, Dec 26 2020

FORMULA
|
a(n) = a(n-1) + 2*a(n-3) - 2*a(n-4) - a(n-6) + a(n-7) for n > 7.
a(n) = floor(n/3)^2 + n + 1. - Kevin Ryde, Dec 26 2020
G.f.: x*(2 + x + 2*x^2 - 3*x^3 - x^4 + x^6)/((1 - x)^3*(1 + x + x^2)^2). - Stefano Spezia, Dec 27 2020

EXAMPLE
|
a(1) = 2 since 1st convergent 2, to e, appears at level 2 of the Calkin-Wilf tree.
a(2) = 3 since 2nd convergent 3 appears at level 3, a(3) = 5 since 3rd convergent 8/3 appears at level 5.
