A081461 Consider the mapping f(a/b) = (a^2+b^3)/(a^3+b^2) from rationals to rationals. Starting with 1/2 (a=1, b=2) and applying the mapping to each new (reduced) rational number gives 1/2, 9/5, 103/377, ... . Sequence gives values of the numerators. +0

COMMENT

For the mapping g(a/b) = (a^2+b)/(a+b^2), starting with 1/2 the same procedure leads to the periodic sequence 1/2, 3/5, 1/2, 3/5, ...

PROGRAM

(PARI) {r=1/2; for(n=1, 7, a=numerator(r); b=denominator(r); print1(a, ", "); r=(a^2+b^3)/(a^3+b^2))}
