COMMENT

If u(0)=exp(1/m) m integer>=1 and u(n+1)=u(n)/frac(u(n)) then floor(u(n))=m*n

FORMULA

let u(0)=Pi^2/6 and u(n+1)=u(n)/frac(u(n)) where frac(x) is the fractional part of x, then a(n)=floor(u(n))

1/zeta(2) = 1/a(1) - 1/a(1)/a(2) + 1/a(1)/a(2)/a(3) - 1/a(1)/a(2)/a(3)/a(4)...

limit n ->infty a(n)^(1/n)=e

PROGRAM

(PARI) r=zeta(2); for(n=1, 30, r=r/(r-floor(r)); print1(floor(r), ", "))
