COMMENT
|
Row n has length 2^n + 1.
A049455/a(n) gives another version of the Stern-Brocot tree.
Define mediant of a/b and c/d to be (a+c)/(b+d). We get A006842/A006843 if we omit terms from n-th row in which denominator exceeds n.

FORMULA
|
Each row is obtained by copying the previous row but interpolating the sums of pairs of adjacent terms. E.g. after 1 2 1 we get 1 1+2 2 2+1 1.
Row 1 of Farey tree is 0/1, 1/1. Obtain row n from row n-1 by inserting mediants between each pair of terms.
