c(n) starts with: 0, 1, 3/2, 19/6, 19/3,3 79/30, 379/15, 3539/70, 3539/35, 42461/210, 42461/105, ...
The corresponding denominator is A172031 (also denominator of rational sequence defined in A172030).
It appears that A172030/A172031 - A172032/A172031 = 0, 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ... that is A131577 prepended with 0.
