In Eisenstein's notation this is the array for m=1 and n=3; see pp. 41-2 of the Eisenstein reference given for A064881. The array for m=n=1 is A049456.
For n >= 1, the number of entries of row n is 2^(n-1)+1 with the difference sequence [2,1,2,4,8,16,...]. Row sums give 4*A007051(n-1).
The binary tree built from the rationals a(n,m)/a(n,m+1), m=0..2^(n-1), for each row n >= 1 gives the subtree of the (Eisenstein-)Stern-Brocot tree in the version of, e.g., Calkin and Wilf (for the reference see A002487, also for the Wilf link) with root 1/3. The composition rule for this tree is i/j -> i/(i+j), (i+j)/j.
FORMULA
a(n, m) = a(n-1, m/2) if m is even, else a(n, m) = a(n-1, (m-1)/2) + a(n-1, (m+1)/2), a(1, 0)=1, a(1, 1)=3.
EXAMPLE
{1,3}; {1,4,3}; {1,5,4,7,3}; {1,6,5,9,4,11,7,10,3}; ...
This binary subtree of rationals is built from 1/3; 1/4, 4/3; 1/5, 5/4, 4/7, 7/3; ...
MATHEMATICA
nmax = 6; a[n_, m_?EvenQ] := a[n-1, m/2]; a[n_, m_?OddQ] := a[n, m] = a[n-1, (m-1)/2] + a[n-1, (m+1)/2]; a[1, 0] = 1; a[1, 1] = 3; Flatten[ Table[ a[n, m], {n, 1, nmax}, {m, 0, 2^(n-1)}]] (* Jean-François Alcover, Oct 03 2011 *)
