%N Denominators of Bird tree fractions.

%C The Bird tree is an infinite binary tree labeled with rational numbers. The root is labeled with 1. The tree enjoys the following fractal property: it can be transformed into its left subtree by first incrementing and then reciprocalizing the elements; for the right subtree interchange the order of the two steps: the elements are first reciprocalized and then incremented. Like the Stern-Brocot tree, the Bird tree enumerates all the positive rationals (A162909(n)/A162910(n)).

%C From _Yosu Yurramendi_, Jul 11 2014: (Start)

%C If the terms (n>0) are written as an array (left-aligned fashion) with rows of length 2^m, m = 0,1,2,3,...

%C 1,

%C 2, 1,

%C 3, 3,1, 2,

%C 5, 4,4, 5,2,1, 3, 3,

%C 8, 7,5, 7,7,5, 7, 8, 3, 3,1,2, 5,4, 4, 5,

%C 13,11,9,12,9,6,10,11,11,10,6,9,12,9,11,13,5,4,4,5,2,1,3,3,8,7,5,7,7,5,7,8,

%C then the sum of the m-th row is 3^m (m = 0,1,2,), each column k is a Fibonacci sequence.

%C If the rows are written in a right-aligned fashion:

%C 1,

%C 2,1,

%C 3,3,1,2,

%C 5,4,4,5,2,1,3,3,

%C 8,7,5,7,7,5,7,8,3,3,1,2,5,4,4,5,

%C 13,11,9,12,9,6,10,11,11,10,6,9,12,9,11,13,5,4,4,5,2,1,3,3,8,7,5,7,7,5,7,8,

%C then each column k also is a Fibonacci sequence.

%C The Fibonacci sequences of both triangles are equal except the first terms of second triangle.

%C If the sequence is considered by blocks of length 2^m, m = 0,1,2,..., the blocks of this sequence are the reverses of blocks of A162909 ( a(2^m+k) = A162909(2^(m+1)-1-k), m = 0,1,2,..., k = 0,1,2,...,2^m-1).
