a(n) = denominator of b(n): b(1)=2. b(n) be such that the continued fraction (of +-rational terms) [b(1);b(2),...,b(n)] = sum{k=1 to n-1} 1/b(k), for every integer n >= 2. |

FORMULA
|
For n >= 5, b(n) = - (b(n-1) + b(n-2)) * (b(n-2) + b(n-3)) /(b(n-1) * b(n-2)^2).
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
{b(k)} begins: 2, -2/3, 3, 7/3, -16/27, 141/49, -3023/768,...
So for example, 1/2 -3/2 + 1/3 = 2 + 1/(-2/3 +1/(3 + 3/7)) and 1/2 -3/2 + 1/3 + 3/7 = 2 + 1/(-2/3 +1/(3 + 1/(7/3 - 27/16))).
