A177405 Form triangle of weighted Farey fractions; read numerators by rows. 6

%N Form triangle of weighted Farey fractions; read numerators by rows.

%C Start with the list of fractions 0/1, 1/1 and repeatedly insert the weighted mediants (2a+c)/(2b+d) and (a+2c)/(b+2d) between every pair of adjacent elements a/b and c/d of the list. The fractions are to be reduced before the insertion step.

%C James Propp asks: Does every fraction between 0 and 1 with odd denominator appear in the triangle?

%t Mma code from _James Propp_:

%t Lengthen[L_] :=

%t Module[{i, M}, M = Table[0, {3 Length[L]}];

%t M[[1]] = Numerator[L[[1]]]/(2 + Denominator[L[[1]]]);

%t M[[2]] = 2*Numerator[L[[1]]]/(1 + 2 Denominator[L[[1]]]);

%t For[i = 1, i < Length[L], i++, M[[3 i]] = L[[i]];

%t M[[3 i + 1]] = (2 Numerator[L[[i]]] +

%t Numerator[L[[i + 1]]])/(2 Denominator[L[[i]]] +

%t Denominator[L[[i + 1]]]);

%t M[[3 i + 2]] = (Numerator[L[[i]]] +

%t 2 Numerator[L[[i + 1]]])/(Denominator[L[[i]]] +
