FORMULA

Partial quotients in continued fraction representation of (e-1)/(e+1) are A016825: [2, 6, 10, 14, 18...], the convergents being: [2] = 1/2, [2, 6] = 6/13, [2, 6, 10] = 61/132...etc.; denominators are A079165 starting with n=1: 2, 13, 132, 1861, 33630, 741721, 19318376... 2. a(n) = closest integer to [(e-1)/(e+1)]*A079165(n), n>0

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 860 = closest integer to[(e-1)/(e+1)]*A079165(4); = floor(860.0000292...) = 860. 860/1861 = [2, 6, 10, 14] = .462117141...; (e-1)/(e+1) = .462117157...
