COMMENT

The defining inequality {-m*r}<{n*r} is equivalent to {m*r}+{n*r}>1. Are all a(n) in A079496? Are all a(n) denominators of intermediate convergents to sqrt(2)?

EXAMPLE

a(2)=5 because {-m*r}<{2*r}=.828... for m=1,2,3,4 whereas

{-5*r}=.9289..., so that 5 is the least m for which

{-m*r}>{2*r}.
