A084580 Let y = m/GK(k), where m and k vary over the positive integers and GK(k)=log(1+1/(k*(k+2)))/log(2) is the Gauss-Kuzmin distribution of k. Sort the y values by size and number them consecutively by n. This sequence gives the values of k in order by n.

Comments

The geometric mean of the sequence equals Khintchine's constant K=2.685452001 since the frequency of the integers agrees with the Gauss-Kuzmin distribution. When considered as a continued fraction, the resulting constant is 0.5815803358828329856145... = [0;1,1,2,1,1,3,2,1,1,1,4,2,1,...].
