FORMULA

Sqrt(2) = 14 * sum_{n=0...infinity} (A001790(n)/2^A005187(floor(n/2)) * 10^(-2n-1)) where A001790(n) are numerators in expansion of 1/sqrt(1-x), and the denominators in expansion of 1/sqrt(1-x) are 2^A005187(n). 14 = 2*7, see A010503 (expansion of 1/sqrt(2)). - Gerald McGarvey (Gerald.McGarvey(AT)comcast.net), Jan 01 2005

Limit(n-->+oo) of (1/n)*(sum(k=1, n, frac(sqrt(1+zeta(k+1))))) = 1/(1+sqrt(2)) - Yalcin Aktar (aktaryalcin(AT)msn.com), Jul 14 2005
