A181118 Sequencing of all rational numbers p/q > 0 as ordered pairs (p,q). The rational (p,q) occurs as the n-th ordered pair where n=(p+q-1)*(p+q-2)/2+q. 2

%S 1,1,2,1,1,2,3,1,2,2,1,3,4,1,3,2,2,3,1,4,5,1,4,2,3,3,2,4,1,5,6,1,5,2,

%T 4,3,3,4,2,5,1,6,7,1,6,2,5,3,4,4,3,5,2,6,1,7,8,1,7,2,6,3,5,4,4,5,3,6,

%N Sequencing of all rational numbers p/q > 0 as ordered pairs (p,q). The rational (p,q) occurs as the n-th ordered pair where n=(p+q-1)*(p+q-2)/2+q.

%C From _L. Edson Jeffery_, Dec 17 2011: (Start)

%C Arrange the ordered pairs in rows

%C (1,1)

%C (2,1),(1,2)

%C (3,1),(2,2),(1,3)

%C etc., and let the rows be indexed by n=1,2,.... Then the sum of the products of the pairs in row n is equal to A000292(n). For example, for n=3, 3*1+2*2+1*3=A000292(3)=10. (End)

%F Triangle format R(n,m) of ordered pairs (R(n,2r-1), R(n,2r)) with R(n,2r-1)=n+1-r and R(n,2r)=r and generating the rational (n+1-r)/r.

%e Triangle begins:

%e 1,1 : 1/1;

%e 2,1,1,2 : 2/1, 1/2;

%e 3,1,2,2,1,3 : 3/1, 2/2, 1/3;

%e 4,1,3,2,2,3,1,4 : 4/1, 3/2, 2/3, 1/4;

%e 5,1,4,2,3,3,2,4,1,5 : 5/1, 4/2, 3/3, 2/4, 1/5;

%e ...

%t u[x_] := Floor[3/2 + Sqrt[2*x]]; v[x_] := Floor[1/2 + Sqrt[2*x]]; n[x_] := 1 - x + u[x]*(u[x] - 1)/2; k[x_] := x - v[x]*(v[x] - 1)/2; Flatten[Table[{n[m], k[m]}, {m, 45}]] (* _L. Edson Jeffery_, Jun 20 2015 *)
