FORMULA

Nearest integer to BesselI(0, 2)*n!*n!, n>2.

a(n) = n!^2*Sum_{k=0..n} 1/k!^2. BesselI(0, 2*sqrt(x))/(1-x) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n/n!^2. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)Eunet.yu), Aug 30 2002

Recurrence: a(1) = 1, a(2) = 2, a(n+1) = (n^2+1)*a(n) - (n-1)^2*a(n-1), n >= 2. The sequence b(n) := (n-1)!^2 satisfies the same recurrence with the initial conditions b(1) = 1, b(2) = 1. It follows that a(n) = n!^2*(1 + 1/(1 - 1/(5 - 4/(10 - ...-(n-1)^2/(n^2+1))))). Hence BesselI(0,2) := sum {k = 0..inf} 1/k!^2 = 1 + 1/(1 - 1/(5 - 4/(10 - ...-(n-1)^2/(n^2+1 - ...)))). Cf. A073701. - Peter Bala (pbala(AT)toucansurf.com), Jul 09 2008
