COMMENT

Denominator of b(n) where b(n) = 1/2*(b(n-1) + 1/b(n-1)), b(0)=2. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Aug 15 2002

FORMULA

a(n) = a(n-1)*(3^(2^(n-1))+1) with a(0) = 1.

a(n) = (3^(2^n)-1)/2 = (A059723(n+1)-A059723(n))/A059723(n) = A059917(n)-1 = a(n-1)*A059919(n-1) = a(n-1)*(A011764(n-1)+1)

1 = Sum(0, inf.) 3^(2^n)/a(n+1). 1 = 3/4 + 9/40 + 81/3280 + 6561/21523360 + ...; with partial sums: 3/4, 39/40, 3279/3280, 21523359/21523360...[a(n)-1]/a(n)...==> 1. - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Jun 22 2003
