A049456 Triangle T(n,k) = denominator of fraction in k-th term of n-th row of variant of Farey series. This is also Stern's diatomic array read by rows (version 1). 29

%N Triangle T(n,k) = denominator of fraction in k-th term of n-th row of variant of Farey series. This is also Stern's diatomic array read by rows (version 1).

%C Row n has length 2^(n-1) + 1.

%C A049455/a(n) gives another version of the Stern-Brocot tree.

%C Define mediant of a/b and c/d to be (a+c)/(b+d). We get A006842/A006843 if we omit terms from n-th row in which denominator exceeds n.

%C Largest term of n-th row = A000045(n+1), Fibonacci numbers. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Apr 02 2014

%F Each row is obtained by copying the previous row but interpolating the sums of pairs of adjacent terms. E.g. after 1 2 1 we get 1 1+2 2 2+1 1.

%F Row 1 of Farey tree is 0/1, 1/1. Obtain row n from row n-1 by inserting mediants between each pair of terms.
