COMMENTS

Decree that (row 1) = (1) and (row 2) = (3,2). For n >= 4, row n consists of numbers in decreasing order generated as follows: x+1 for each x in row n-1 together with 3/x for each x in row n-1, and duplicates are rejected as they occur. Then a(n) = (number of numbers in row n); it appears that this sequence is not linearly recurrent.

EXAMPLE

First 6 rows of the array of rationals:

1/1

4/1... 2/1

5/1... 3/1

6/1... 4/3... 4/5

7/1... 7/3... 9/5... 2/3

8/1... 10/3... 14/5.. 20/9.. 12/7.. 5/3.. 4/7, so thatA243856begins with 1,2,2,3,4,7.
