[seqfan] Re: Reciprocal Recaman

[M. F. Hasler]

But unless we know whether / from where on they differ, it is IMHO not
so useful to create this new sequence without an indication, it will
make editors and contributors loose their time in the future with
suggestions to delete this as duplicate of A2805.
I think it would be as useful to add a comment in A231692 saying "the
denominaters are conjectured to be different from (or: equal to)
A2805.
One could also xref
A203811: Denominators of s(i) = s(i-1) - (1/i)*sign(s(i-1)) with s(1) = 1.
based on a very similar idea (but which differs (more) often).

PS: it seems the two coincide at least up to the 43000+ digit a( n=10^5 ):
{s=t=0;for(n=1,10^5,denominator(s+=(-1)^(n*s<1)/n)!=denominator(t+=1/n)&&return(n))}
does not return...
