%N A259595 Numerators of the other-side convergents to sqrt(6).
%C A259595 Suppose that a positive irrational number r has continued fraction [a(0), a(1), ... ]. Define sequences p(i), q(i), P(i), Q(i) from the numerators and denominators of finite continued fractions as follows:
%C A259595 p(i)/q(i) = [a(0), a(1), ... a(i)] and P(i)/Q(i) = [a(0), a(1), ..., a(i) + 1]. The fractions p(i)/q(i) are the convergents to r, and the fractions P(i)/Q(i) are introduced here as the "other-side convergents" to r, because p(2k)/q(2k) < r < P(2k)/Q(2k) and P(2k+1)/Q(2k+1) < r < p(2k+1)/q(2k+1), for k >= 0. Closeness of P(i)/Q(i) to r is indicated by
%C A259595 |r - P(i)/Q(i)| < |p(i)/q(i) - P(i)/Q(i)| = 1/(q(i)Q(i)), for i >= 0.
