FORMULA
Conjecture (Quet): a(m+1) = a(m)^2 + a(m)^3 /(2a(m-1)^2) - a(m)a(m-1)^2/2 for m >= 2.
EXAMPLE
The b sequence begins 1, 3/2, 21/10, 861/310, 1275141/363010, 2551762438701/594665194510, ... = A079268/A079269.
MAPLE
b := proc(n) option remember; if n=1 then 1 else b(n-1)+1/(1+1/b(n-1)); fi; end;
