COMMENT

A123725(n) = (A007814(n) + 2)*(-1)^A073089(n+1) are the numerators of the partial quotients.

FORMULA

a(n) = (A007814(n) + 1)^2 for n>=1, with a(0)=1, where A007814(n) is the exponent of the highest power of 2 dividing n.

EXAMPLE

Surprisingly, the following analog of the Riemann zeta function:

Z(x,s) = Sum_{n>=0} x^(2^n-1)/(n+1)^s = 1 + x/2^s + x^3/3^s +x^7/4^s+..

may be expressed by the continued fraction:

Z(x,s) = [1; f(1)^s/x, -f(2)^s/x, -f(3)^s/x,...,f(n)^s*(-1)^e(n)/x,...]

such that the (2^n-1)-th convergent = Sum_{k=0..n} x^(2^k-1)/(k+1)^s,

where f(n) = (b(n)+2)/(b(n)+1)^2 and e(n) = A073089(n+1) for n>=1,

and b(n) = A007814(n) the exponent of highest power of 2 dividing n.

PROGRAM

(PARI) {a(n)=denominator(subst(contfrac(sum(m=0, #binary(n), 1/x^(2^m-1)/(m+1)), n+3)[n+1], x, 1))} (PARI) /* a(n) = (A007814(n)+1)^2: */ {a(n)=if(n==0, 1, (valuation(n, 2)+1)^2)}
