COMMENT
|
Average length of chord formed from two randomly chosen points on the circumference of a unit circle (see Weisstein/MathWorld link). - Rick L. Shepherd (rshepherd2(AT)hotmail.com), Jun 19 2006
Suppose u(0)=1+i where i^2=-1 and u(n+1)=(1/2)*(u(n)+|u(n)|). Conjecture: limit(Real(u(n)),n=+oo)=4/Pi. - Aktar Yalcin (aktaryalcin(AT)msn.com), Jul 18 2007
