COMMENT

These numbers are quartics. The recursion provides a method of solving the

quintic x^5 + x - 1. In general, extending this notion, we can use the

recursion x = 1/(x^(n-1)+1) to find a solution for n-th degree equations of

the form x^n+x-1=0.

PROGRAM

(PARI) x=0; for(j=1, 7, x=1/(x^4+1); print1((numerator(x))", "))
