Just a suggestion for those looking for ideas of sequences to submit:
We can take a sequence of rationals {r(k)}, where the numerators and
denominators of {r(k)} might already by in the EIS, and form a new
sequence which is the concatenation of the continued fractions of each
r(k), as I have done in this sequence I just submitted:
>%S A000001 1,1,2,1,1,5,2,12,2,3,1,1,8,2,2,4,2
>%N A000001 Array where nth row (of A055573(n) terms) is the continued
>fraction terms of the nth harmonic number, sum{k=1 to n} 1/k.
>%e A000001 Since the 3rd harmonic number is 11/6 = 1 +1/(1 +1/5), the 3rd
>row is 1,1,5.
>%Y A000001 A055573,A001008,A002805
>%O A000001 1
>%K A000001 ,more,nonn,tabl,cofr
Also we can form the sequence which gives the number of terms in each
continued fraction (as is sequence A055573 relating to my example above).
(It should be noted in the sequence's comment line that it is understood
that each CF's final term is not 1 when r(k) is not 1.)
And we can also form the sequence which gives the SUM of the CF terms for
each r(k).
And don't forget the sequence of final (non-1) terms of each continued
fraction, as well as {floor(r(k))} (the initial terms of the {positive}
rationals' CFs).
thanks,
