FORMULA

Given a(0)=1, b(0)=1 then for i=1, 2, .. a(i)/b(i) = (a(i-1)+2*b(i-1)) /(a(i-1) + b(i-1)).

PROGRAM

(PARI) primenum(n, k, typ) = \yp = 1 num, 2 denom. print only prime num or denom. { local(a, b, x, tmp, v); a=1; b=1; for(x=1, n, tmp=b; b=a+b; a=k*tmp+a; if(typ==1, v=a, v=b); if(isprime(v), print1(v", "); ) ); print(); print(a/b+.) }
