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.

FORMULA

32*prod(j>=0, (u(j+1)/u(j))^2^(-j+1)) where u(0)=1 v(0)=1/sqrt(2) u(n+1)=u(n)/2+v(n)/2 v(n+1)=sqrt(u(n)v(n)) (deduced from Salamin algorithm for Pi) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Aug 14 2003
