A114551 Continued fraction expansion of the constant (A114550) equal to the sum Sum_{n>=0} 1/A112373(n), such that the partial quotients satisfy: a(2n) = A112373(n) for n>0 and a(2n+1) = A112373(n+1)/A112373(n) for n>=0. +0

COMMENT

A112373 is defined by the recurrence: let b(n) = A112373(n), then

b(n) =(b(n-1)^3 + b(n-1)^2)/b(n-2) for n>=2 with b(0)=b(1)=1.

FORMULA

a(2n) = a(2n-1)*a(2n-2) for n>=2, a(2n+1) = a(2n)*a(2n-1) + a(2n-1) for n>=1, with a(0)=2, a(1)=a(2)=1. - Jeffrey Shallit (shallit(AT)graceland.uwaterloo.ca).

EXAMPLE

2.584401724019776724812076147153331342112382090467969...

= Sum_{n>=0} 1/A112373(n) = 1/1 +1/1 +1/2 +1/12 +1/936 +1/68408496 +...

= [2;1,1,2,2,6,12,78,936,73086,68408496,...] (continued fraction).

The recurrence of partial quotients is demonstrated by:

(odd-index) a(7) = 78 = a(6)*a(5) + a(5) = 12*6 + 6;

(even-index) a(8) = 936 = a(7)*a(6) = 78*12.

PROGRAM

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<0, 0, if(n<3, [2, 1, 1][n+1], a(n-1)*a(n-2)+(n%2)*a(n-2)))
