COMMENT

a(n+1)/a(n) converges to pi. Similar to sequence A085839 but with a simpler definition.

Subset of the Beatty sequence of Pi = A022844 = Floor(n*Pi). Primes in this sequence include a(1) = 3, a(6) = 857, a(15) = 25541911. - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Jan 18 2006

EXAMPLE

a(2)=floor[a(1)*pi]=floor[3*pi]=9;

a(3)=floor[a(2)*pi]=floor[9*pi]=28;

a(4)=floor[a(3)*pi]=floor[28*pi]=87.

MATHEMATICA

a[1] = Floor[Pi]; a[n_] := a[n] = Floor[a[n - 1]*Pi]; Array[a, 25] (* Robert G. Wilson v *)
