%N A086592 Denominators in left-hand half of Kepler's tree of fractions.
%C A086592 Form a tree of fractions by beginning with 1/1 and then giving every node i/j two descendants labeled i/(i+j) and j/(i+j).
%C A086592 Level n of the left-hand half of the tree consists of 2^(n-1) nodes: 1/2; 1/3, 2/3; 1/4, 3/4, 2/5, 3/5; 1/5, 4/5, 3/7, 4/7, 2/7, 5/7, 3/8, 5/8; ... .
%C A086592 The right-hand half is identical to the left-hand half. - _Michel Dekking_, Oct 05 2017
%C A086592 n>1 occurs in this sequence phi(n) = A000010(n) times, as it occurs in A007306 (_Franklin T. Adams-Watters_' comment), that is the sequence obtained by adding numerator and denominator in the Calkin-Wilf enumeration system of positive rationals. A020650(n)/A020651(n) is also an enumeration system of all positive rationals (Yu-Ting system), and in each level m >= 0 (ranks between 2^m and 2^(m+1)-1) rationals are the same in both systems. Thus a(n) has the same terms in each level as A007306. The same property occurs in all numerator+denominator sequences of enumeration systems of positive rationals, as, for example, A007306 (A007305+A047679), A071585 (A229742+A071766), and A268087 (A162909+A162910). - _Yosu Yurramendi_, Apr 06 2016
