COMMENT

e^pi and pi^e (A059850) differ hardly by 3% in magnitude. The determination of the inequality sign between them dispenses with their actual evaluation, the result being immediate from the basic facts pi>e and ln(x+1)<x for positive x, whence setting x=(pi/e)-1 (>0) yields ln(pi)<pi/e, or pi^e < e^pi.

The formulae give e^pi, not a(n). Note that e^pi-pi = 19.999099979..., that's why e^pi and 20 + pi have many common decimal digits. [From M. F. Hasler (mhasler(AT)univ-ag.fr), Oct 24 2009]
