COMMENTS

lim n -> infinity (1+1/n)^n=e

For any natural number N, limit_{ n->infinity } ((ln(N))^(1/n) + 1/n)^n = e*ln(N). - Alexander R. Povolotsky (pevnev(AT)juno.com), Dec 06 2007

FORMULA

Asymptotically it seems that a(n)=C*n*ln(n)) where C=0.84...is closed to the constant described in A055573(n)

EXAMPLE

The simple continued fraction for (1+1/10)^10 is [2, 1, 1, 2, 5, 1, 128, 1, 2, 12, 5, 3, 46, 1, 11, 7] which contains 16 elements, hence a(10)=16.
