COMMENTS

Expansion of golden ratio (1+sqrt(5))/2 as an infinite product: phi = prod(i=0, infty, (1+1/(fibonacci(2i+1) * fibonacci(2i+3)-1)) * (1-1/(fibonacci(2i+2) * fibonacci(2i+4)+1))) - Thomas Baruchel (baruchel(AT)users.sourceforge.net), Nov 11 2003

Each of these is one short of or one over the square of a Fibonacci number (A007598). This means that a rectangle sized F(n) by F(n + 2) units can't be converted into a square with sides of length F(n + 1) units unless one square unit of material is added or removed. - Alonso del Arte, May 03 2011

FORMULA

a(n) = Fib(n+1)^2-(-1)^n = A007598(n+1)+A033999(n+1) = A000045(n+1)^2-A033999(n)

G.f.: [2x-x^2]/[(1+x)(1-3x+x^2)].

Sum[n=1..inf, 1/a(n)] = 1, Sum[n=1..inf, (-1)^n/a(n)] = 2-sqrt(5).

Sum[n=1..inf, 1/a(2n-1)] = 1/phi = (sqrt(5)-1)/2. - Franz Vrabec (franz.vrabec(AT)aon.at), Sep 15 2005

1 = 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/10 + 1/24 + 1/65 + 1/168 + ..., = 1/(1*2) + 1/(1*3) + 1/(2*5) + 1/(3*8) + ... - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Mar 16 2008

Sum[n=1..inf, 1/a(2n)] = (3-sqrt(5))/2. [From Franz Vrabec (franz.vrabec(AT)aon.at), Nov 30 2009]

a(n)=((7+3*sqrt(5))/10)*((3+sqrt(5))/2)^(n-1)+((7-3*sqrt(5))/10)*((3-sqrt(5))/2)^(n-1)+(3/5)*(-1)^(n-1). [Tim Monahan, Aug 09 2011]
