COMMENTS

Pi/4=Sum(k=>0,(-1)^k/(2k+1))

FORMULA

lim n -> infinity a(n)/n=C=1, 6...

EXAMPLE

The simple continued fraction for Sum(k=0,10,(-1)^k/(2k+1)) is [0, 1, 4, 4, 1, 3, 54, 1, 2, 1, 1, 4, 11, 1, 2, 2] which contains 16 elements, hence a(10)=16.

PROG

(PARI) for(n=1, 100, print1( length(contfrac(sum(i=0, n, (-1)^i/(2*i+1)))), ", "))
