COMMENT

K = 2 in the script below. Conjecture: this diagonal expressed as a decimal is irrational and transcendental. Proof? Counterexample?

Write down the floating point constants x(m)>0 which solve x^2+mx=2, one per row for m=1,2,3,...:

0.99999999999999999999...

0.73205080756887729353...

0.56155281280883027491...

0.44948974278317809820...

0.37228132326901432993...

0.31662479035539984911...

and read this diagonally, the first digit after the dot from the first constant, the 2nd digit after the dot from the 2nd constant, the 3rd digit after the dot from the 3rd constant etc.

FORMULA

Also the decimal expansion of the positive solutions x of the quadratic equation x^2 + mx - 2 = 0, m = 1, 2... x = (sqrt(m^2+8)-2)/2 m=1, 2..

PROGRAM

(PARI) diagonal(n, k) = { default(realprecision, n); for(m=1, n, s=.1; for(x=1, n, s=k/(s+m); ); a = Vec(Str(s)); print1(eval(a[m+2])", "); ) }
