From Charlie Marion, Jan 07 2009: (Start)
In general, denominators, a(k,n) and numerators, b(k,n), of continued fraction convergents to sqrt((k+1)/k) may be found as follows:
let a(k,0) = 1, a(k,1) = 2k; for n>0, a(k,2n) = 2*a(k,2n-1) + a(k,2n-2) and a(k,2n+1) = (2k)*a(k,2n) + a(k,2n-1);
let b(k,0) = 1, b(k,1) = 2k+1; for n>0, b(k,2n) = 2*b(k,2n-1) + b(k,2n-2) and b(k,2n+1) = (2k)*b(k,2n) + b(k,2n-1).
For example, the convergents to sqrt(2/1) start 1/1, 3/2, 7/5, 17/12, 41/29.
In general, if a(k,n) and b(k,n) are the denominators and numerators, respectively, of continued fraction convergents to sqrt((k+1)/k) as defined above, then
k*a(k,2n)^2 - a(k,2n-1)*a(k,2n+1) = k = k*a(k,2n-2)*a(k,2n) - a(k,2n-1)^2 and
b(k,2n-1)*b(k,2n+1) - k*b(k,2n)^2 = k+1 = b(k,2n-1)^2 - k*b(k,2n-2)*b(k,2n);
for example, if k=1 and n=3, then b(1,n)=a(n+1) and
1*a(1,6)^2 - a(1,5)*a(1,7) = 1*169^2 - 70*408 = 1;
1*a(1,4)*a(1,6) - a(1,5)^2 = 1*29*169 - 70^2 = 1;
b(1,5)*b(1,7) - 1*b(1,6)^2 = 99*577 - 1*239^2 = 2;
b(1,5)^2 - 1*b(1,4)*b(1,6) = 99^2 - 1*41*239 = 2.

The sequences a(n) and b(n) := A000129(n) are entries of powers of the special case of the Brahmagupta Matrix - for details see Suryanarayan's paper. Further, as Suryanarayan remark, if we set A = 2*(a(n) + b(n))*b(n), B = a(n)*(a(n) + 2*b(n)), C = a(n)^2 + 2*a(n)*b(n) + 2*b(n)^2 we obtain integral solutions of the Pythagorean relation A^2 + B^2 = C^2, where A and B are consecutive integers. - Roman Witula, Jul 28 2012

If p is prime, a(p) == 1 (mod p) (compare with similar comment for A000032). - Creighton Dement, Oct 11 2005, modified by Davide Colazingari, Jun 26 2016
a(n) = A000129(n) + A000129(n-1), where A000129(n) is the n-th Pell Number; e.g., a(6) = 99 = A000129(6) + A000129(5) = 70 + 29. Hence the sequence of fractions has the form 1 + A000129(n-1)/A000129(n), and the ratio A000129(n-1)/A000129(n)converges to sqrt(2) - 1. - Gregory L. Simay, Nov 30 2018

G.f.: Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1) * x^(n-1) * Product_{k = 1..n} (1 - k*x)/(1 - 3*x + k*x^2).
The following series telescope:
Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)/(a(2*n) + 1/a(2*n)) = 1/4, since 1/(a(2*n) + 1/a(2*n)) = 1/A077445(n) + 1/A077445(n+1).
Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)/(a(2*n+1) - 1/a(2*n+1)) = 1/8, since. 1/(a(2*n+1) - 1/a(2*n+1)) = 1/(4*Pell(2*n)) + 1/(4*Pell(2*n+2)), where Pell(n) = A000129(n).
Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)/(a(2*n+1) + 9/a(2*n+1)) = 1/10, since 1/(a(2*n+1) + 9/a(2*n+1)) = b(n) + b(n+1), where b(n) = A001109(n)/(2*Pell(2*n-1)*Pell(2*n+1)).
Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)/(a(n)*a(n+1)) = 1 - sqrt(2)/2 = A268682, since (-1)^(n+1)/(a(n)*a(n+1)) = Pell(n)/a(n) - Pell(n+1)/a(n+1). (End)
