Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Irregular triangular array of denominators of the positive rational numbers ordered as in Comments.
%C Decree that (row 1) = (1) and (row 2) = (3,2). For n >= 4, row n consists of numbers in decreasing order generated as follows: x+1 for each x in row n-1 together with 3/x for each x in row n-1, and duplicates are rejected as they occur. Every positive rational number occurs exactly once in the resulting array.
