Title
Linking the Calkin-Wilf and Stern-Brocot trees
Abstract
Links between the Calkin-Wilf tree and the Stern-Brocot tree are discussed answering the questions: What is thejth vertex in thenth level of the Calkin-Wilf tree? and Where is the vertexrslocated in the Calkin-Wilf tree? A simple mechanism is described for converting the jth vertex in the nth level of the Calkin-Wilf tree into the jth entry in the nth level of the Stern-Brocot tree. We also provide a simple method for evaluating terms in the Hyperbinary sequence thus answering a challenge raised in Quantum in September 1997. We also examine successors and predecessors in both trees.
