A225163 Denominators of the sequence s(n) of the sum resp. product of fractions f(n) defined recursively by f(1) = 3/1; f(n+1) is chosen so that the sum and the product of the first n terms of the sequence are equal. 2

%N Denominators of the sequence s(n) of the sum resp. product of fractions f(n) defined recursively by f(1) = 3/1; f(n+1) is chosen so that the sum and the product of the first n terms of the sequence are equal.

%C Numerators of the sequence s(n) of the sum resp. product of fractions f(n) is A165421(n+2), hence s(n) = sum(A165421(i+1)/A225156(i),i=1..n) = product(A165421(i+1)/A225156(i),i=1..n) = A165421(n+2)/a(n) = A011764(n-1)/a(n).

%F a(n) = 3^(2^(n-1))*b(n) where b(n)=b(n-1)-b(n-1)^2 with b(1)=1/3.

%e f(n) = 3, 3/2, 9/7, 81/67, ...

%e 3 + 3/2 = 3 * 3/2 = 9/2; 3 + 3/2 + 9/7 = 3 * 3/2 * 9/7 = 81/14; ...

%e s(n) = 1/b(n) = 3, 9/2, 81/14, ...

%p b:=proc(n) option remember; b(n-1)-b(n-1)^2; end:

%p b(1):=1/3;

%p a:=n->3^(2^(n-1))*b(n);

%p seq(a(i),i=1..9);
