COMMENTS

The Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction is defined by R(q) = q^(1/5)/(1+q/(1+q^2/(1+q^3/(1+ ... )))). The limit of a(n)/A015459(n+2) is 2^(-1/5) * R(2).

EXAMPLE

1/1 = a(0)/A015459(2).

1/(1+2/1) = 1/3 = a(1)/A015459(3).

1/(1+2/(1+2^2/1)) = 5/7 = a(2)/A015459(4).

1/(1+2/(1+2^2/(1+2^3/1))) = 13/31 = a(3)/A015459(5).
