Comments

It seems that lim n ->infinity a(n)/A069880(n) = C = 0.5... which is different from (log(4)-log(3))/log(2)=0.415... the expected density of 1's (cf. measure theory of continued fractions).

Example

e(10) has for continued fraction [1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 4, 1, 1, 6, 1, 1, 11, 1, 1, 29, 1, 1, 2] which contains 12 "1's" hence a(10)=12.

Prog
