COMMENT
|
The sequence of complex numbers (which this sequence is part of) converges to (i+sqrt(-1+4i))/2, found by simply solving the equation A=i+(i/A) for A using the quadratic formula. When plotted in the complex plane, these numbers form a counter-clockwise spiral that quickly converges to a point.

|
EXAMPLE
|
a(6)=5 since the sixth convergent is (3/5)+(13/10)i and hence the denominator of the real part is 5.
