%C Starting with g(0) = {0}, generate g(n) for n > 0 inductively using these rules:

%C (1) if x is in g(n-1), then x + 1 is in g(n); and

%C (2) if x is in g(n-1) and x < 2, then x/2 is in g(n).

%C The sum of numbers in g(n) is a(n)/2^(n-1).

%F Conjecture: a(n) = 3*a(n-1) + 4*a(n-2) - 8*a(n-3) - 8*a(n-4).

%e g(0) = {0}, sum = 0.

%e g(1) = {1}, sum = 1.

%e g(2) = {1/2,2/1}, sum = 5/4.

%e g(3) = {1/4,3/2,3/1}, sum = 19/8.

%t z = 30; x = 1/2; g[0] = {0}; g[1] = {1};

%t g[n_] := g[n] = Union[1 + g[n - 1], (1/2) Select[g[n - 1], # < 2 &]]

%t Table[g[n], {n, 0, z}]; Table[Total[g[n]], {n, 0, z}]

%t Numerator[Table[Total[g[n]], {n, 0, z}] ]
