A071787 Continued exponent expansion of the power series 1/(1-x); odd terms being numerators and even terms being denominators of the rational terms of the expansion: 1/(1-x) = e^[(a(1)/a(2))*x*e^[(a(3)/a(4))*x*e^[(a(5)/a(6))*x*e^[...]]]]. 1

COMMENTS

The fractions a(2n-1)/a(2n) form a monotonically decreasing sequence with the limit being 1/e = 0.3678794411714. What is the rate of growth of the terms?

FORMULA

Terms from a(11) through a(16) were supplied by David W. Cantrell (DWCantrell(AT)sigmaxi.net)

EXAMPLE

1/(1-x) = e^[(1/1)*x*e^[(1/2)*x*e^[(5/12)*x*e^[(47/120)*x*e^[...]]]]
