FORMULA

a(n) is asymptotic to C*exp(n) where C=0.1688... - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Apr 14 2003

a(n) = 1 + (A136616^(n-1))(0) - Rainer Rosenthal (r.rosenthal(AT)web.de), Feb 16 2008

EXAMPLE

1/1; 1/2+1/3, 1/4+1/5+1/6+1/7+1/8+1/9 are all just less than 1; so first four terms are 1, 2, 4, 10.

Lower and upper indices of bin contents are {1,1}, {2,3}, {4,9}, {10,25}, {26,68}, {69,185}, {186,503}, {504,1368}, {1369,3719}, {3720,10110}, {10111,27482}, ...
