%N Numerators of the convergents in the continued fraction expansion for twice the constant given by A100338, where the partial quotients equal A006519 (greatest power of 2 dividing n) interleaved with 2's.
%C The convergents for the continued fraction of x are given by A100340(n)/A100341(n) and the convergents for the continued fraction of 2*x are given by A100342(n)/A100343(n), where A100342(n)/A100343(n) = 2*A100340(n)/A100341(n) for all n.
%F a(1) = 2, a(2) = 3; a(2*n) = a(2*n-1)*A006519(n) + a(2*n-2) for n>1, a(2*n-1) = 2*a(2*n-2) + a(2*n-3) for n>1.
%e The constant is 2*x=2.707742256859764748777788168033216248454666833624237..
