It seems r(x)=(1 if x=1;1+r((x-1)/2) if x is odd;1/(1+1/r(x/2)) if x is even)

"⌊w÷2" is ok as "w÷2" if w is even, or "(w-1)÷2" if w is odd.

1x or 1 with type rational is the base of induction, and from this value are built all other values that maintain the same type of base of induction.

s\left(n\right)=\left\{n=1:1,\operatorname{mod}\left(n,2\right)=0:s\left(\frac{n}{2}\right),s\left(\frac{n-1}{2}\right)+s\left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)\right\}
r\left(n\right)=\frac{s\left(n\right)}{s\left(n+1\right)}

Readable version:

s(n)={n=1:1,mod(n,2)=0:s(n/2),s((n-1)/2)+s((n+1)/2)}
r(n)=s(n)/s(n+1)

How does it work? Well, we can define recursive functions in Desmos:$$s(n)=\{n=1:1,\operatorname{mod}(n,2)=0:s(n/2),s((n-1)/2)+s((n+1)/2)\}$$and now all we have to do is create \$r(n)=\frac{s(n)}{s(n+1)}\$, and we're done!

 s ← ⍺ ⊃ ⍵       ⍝ s is the ⍺th element of ⍵ (1-indexed), i.e. s(n)

⋄⍺ = ⍺⍺:          ⍝ If counter equals the n we want to reach

}

The outer function just calls the inner one with 1 as the initial value of the counter, 1 1 as the initial sequence, and its right argument as the left operand of the inner operator (n).

3ẋḶŒpḄċ
’Ç”/⁸Ç

Try it online!

Ooh, looks like I can beat the accepted answer by @Dennis, and in the same language at that. This works using a formula from OEIS: the number of ways to express (the number minus 1) in hyperbinary (i.e. binary with 0, 1, 2 as digits). Unlike most Jelly programs (which work either as a full program or a function), this one works only as a full program (because it sends part of the output to stdout, and returns the rest; when used as a full program the return value is sent to stdout implicitly, so all the output is in the same place, but this wouldn't work for a function submission).

This version of the program is very inefficient. You can create a much faster program that works for all input up to 2ⁿ via placing n just after the on the first line; the program has O(n × 3ⁿ) performance, so keeping n small is fairly important here. The program as written sets n equal to the input, which is clearly large enough, but also clearly too large in almost all cases (but hey, it saves bytes).

Explanation

As usual in my Jelly explanations, text in braces (e.g. {the input}) shows something that automatically filled in by Jelly due to missing operands in the original program.

Helper function (calculates the nth denominator, i.e. the n+1th numerator):

3ẋḶŒpḄċ
3ẋ       3, repeated a number of times equal to {the argument}
  Ḷ      Map 3 to [0, 1, 2]
   Œp    Take the cartesian product of that list
     Ḅ   Convert binary (or in this case hyperbinary) to a number
      ċ  Count number of occurrences of {the argument} in the resulting list

The first five bytes are basically just generating all possible hyperbinary numbers up to a given length, e.g. with input 3, the output of is [[0,1,2],[0,1,2],[0,1,2]] so the cartesian product is [[0,0,0],[0,0,1],[0,0,2],[0,1,0],…,[2,2,1],[2,2,2]]. basically just multiplies the last entry by 1, the penultimate entry by 2, the antepenultimate entry by 4, etc., and then adds; although this is normally used to convert binary to decimal, it can handle the digit 2 just fine, and thus works for hyperbinary too. Then we count the number of times the input appears in the resulting list, in order to get an appropriate entry in the sequence. (Luckily, the numerator and denominator follow the same sequence).

Main program (asks for the numerator and denominator, and formats the output):

’Ç”/⁸Ç
’Ç      Helper function (Ç), run on {the input} minus 1 (‘)
  ”/    {Output that to stdout}; start again with the constant '/'
    ⁸Ç  {Output that to stdout}; then run the helper function (Ç) on the input (⁸)

Somehow I keep writing programs that take almost as many bytes to handle I/O as they do to solve the actual problem…

Haskell, 78 77 65 58 bytes

Shamelessly stealing the optimized approach gives us:

(s#t)0=show s++'/':show t
(s#t)n=t#(s+t-2*mod s t)$n-1
1#1

Thanks to @nimi for golfing a few bytes using an infix function!

(Still) uses 0-based indexing.


The old approach:

s=(!!)(1:1:f 0)
f n=s n+s(n+1):s(n+1):(f$n+1)
r n=show(s n)++'/':(show.s$n+1)

Damn the output format... And indexing operators. EDIT: And precedence.

Fun fact: if heterogenous lists were a thing, the last line could be:

r n=show>>=[s!!n,'/',s!!(n+1)]

           +          add to t ([t+s-2*(s%t) t])

Casts to Func<int, string>. This is the recursive implementation.

Ungolfed:

n => 
{
    Func<int,int> s = _ => _; // s needs to be set to use recursively. _=>_ is the same byte count as null and looks cooler.
    s = m =>
        1 == m ? m               // s(1) = 1
        : s(m/2) + (0 == m%2 ? 0 // s(m) = s(m/2) for even
        : s(m/2+1));             // s(m) = s(m/2) + s(m/2+1) for odd
    return $"{s(n)}/{s(n+1)}";

Edit: -1 byte. Turns out C# doesn't need a space between return and $ for interpolated strings.

1-indexed; change to n=1 for 0-indexed. The linked OEIS page has a useful recurrence relation for each term in terms of the previous two terms; I merely reinterpreted it as a recurrence for each fraction in terms of the previous fraction. Unfortunately we don't have inline TeX so you'll just have to paste it onto another site to find out how this formats:

$$ \frac{a}{b} \Rightarrow \frac{b}{a + b - 2(a \bmod b)} $$

1_{_@_2$%2*-+}ri*'/\

Online demo. Note that this is 0-indexed. To make it 1-indexed, replace the initial 1_ by T1.

Dissection

This uses the characterisation due to Moshe Newman that

the fraction a(n+1)/a(n+2) can be generated from the previous fraction a(n)/a(n+1) = x by 1/(2*floor(x) + 1 - x)

If x = s/t then we get

  1 / (2 * floor(s/t) + 1 - s/t)
= t / (2 * t * floor(s/t) + t - s)
= t / (2 * (s - s%t) + t - s)
= t / (s + t - 2 * (s % t))

Now, if we assume that s and t are coprime then

  gcd(t, s + t - 2 * (s % t))
= gcd(t, s - 2 * (s % t))
= gcd(t, -(s % t))
= 1

So a(n+2) = a(n) + a(n+1) - 2 * (a(n) % a(n+1)) works perfectly.
