COMMENT

Dual constant: A119812 = Sum_{n>=1} A049472(n)/2^n = Sum_{n>=1} 1/2^A001951(n). Since this constant c = 2 + Sum_{n>=1} 1/2^A003151(n), where A003151(n) = n + floor(n*sqrt(2)), then the binary expansion of the fractional part of c has 1's only at positions given by Beatty sequence A003151(n), and zeros elsewhere. Plouffe's Inverter describes approximations to the fractional part of c as "polylogarithms type of series with the floor function [ ]."

EXAMPLE

c = 2.32258852258806773012144068278798408011950250800432925665718...

Continued fraction (A119810):

c = [2;3,10,132,131104,2199023259648,633825300114114700748888473600,..]

where partial quotients are given by:

PQ(n) = 2^A001333(n-1) + 2^A000129(n-2) (n>1), with PQ(1)=2.

The following are equivalent expressions for the constant:

(1) Sum_{n>=1} 1/2^A049472(n); A049472(n)=[n/sqrt(2)];

(2) Sum_{n>=1} A001951(n)/2^n; A001951(n)=[n*sqrt(2)];

(3) Sum_{n>=1} 1/2^A003151(n) + 2; A003151(n)=[n*sqrt(2)]+n;

(4) Sum_{n>=1} 1/2^A097508(n) - 2; A097508(n)=[n*sqrt(2)]-n;

(5) Sum_{n>=1} A006337(n)/2^n + 1; A006337(n)=[(n+1)*sqrt(2)]-[n*sqrt(2)];

where [x] = floor(x).

These series illustrate the above expressions:

(1) c = 1/2^0 + 1/2^1 + 1/2^2 + 1/2^2 + 1/2^3 + 1/2^4 + 1/2^4 +...

(2) c = 1/2^1 + 2/2^2 + 4/2^3 + 5/2^4 + 7/2^5 + 8/2^6 + 9/2^7 +...

(3) c = 2 + 1/2^2 + 1/2^4 + 1/2^7 + 1/2^9 + 1/2^12 + 1/2^14 +...

(4) c =-2 + 1/2^0 + 1/2^0 + 1/2^1 + 1/2^1 + 1/2^2 + 1/2^2 + 1/2^2 +...

(5) c = 1 + 1/2^1 + 2/2^2 + 1/2^3 + 2/2^4 + 1/2^5 + 1/2^6 + 2/2^7 +...
