Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Eisenstein array Ei(1,3).

%C In Eisenstein's notation this is the array for m=1 and n=3; see pp. 41-2 of the Eisenstein reference given for A064881. The array for m=n=1 is A049456.

%C For n >= 1, the number of entries of row n is 2^(n-1)+1 with the difference sequence [2,1,2,4,8,16,...]. Row sums give 4*A007051(n-1).

%C The binary tree built from the rationals a(n,m)/a(n,m+1), m=0..2^(n-1), for each row n >= 1 gives the subtree of the (Eisenstein-)Stern-Brocot tree in the version of, e.g., Calkin and Wilf (for the reference see A002487, also for the Wilf link) with root 1/3. The composition rule for this tree is i/j -> i/(i+j), (i+j)/j.

%F a(n, m) = a(n-1, m/2) if m is even, else a(n, m) = a(n-1, (m-1)/2) + a(n-1, (m+1)/2), a(1, 0)=1, a(1, 1)=3.
