COMMENT

Denominators of successive convergents to tan(1) using continued fraction 1/(1-1/(3-1/(5-1/(7-1/(9-1/(11-1/(13-1/15-...))))))).

Contribution from Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 20 2009: (Start)

Equals eigensequence of an infinite lower triangular matrix with (1, 3, 5,...)

as the main diagonal and (-1, -1, -1,...) as the subdiagonal. (End)

FORMULA

E.g.f. = (sin(1)*cos(sqrt(1-2*x))+cos(1)*sin(sqrt(1-2*x)))/sqrt(1-2*x). If a(0)=0, a(n)=0, 1, 1, 2, 9, 61, 540, 5879, 75887, 1132426... then E.g.f. = sin(1)*cos(sqrt(1-2*x))-cos(1)*sin(sqrt(1-2*x)). - Miklos Kristof (kristmikl(AT)freemail.hu), Jun 15 2005

EXAMPLE

a(10)=363199319 because 1/(1-1/(3-1/(5-1/(7-1/(9-1/(11-1/(13-1/(15-1/(17-1/19)))))))))=565649425/363199319

MAPLE

E(x):=sin(1)*cos(sqrt(1-2*x))-cos(1)*sin(sqrt(1-2*x)): f[0]:=E(x): for n from 1 to 30 do f[n]:=diff(f[n-1], x) od: x:=0: for n from 1 to 30 do f[n]:=simplify(f[n]/(sin(1)^2+cos(1)^2)) od: seq(f[n], n=1..30); (Kristof)

CROSSREFS
