FORMULA
|
a(n) = round(sin(1)*(2*n+1)!).
G.f.: sin(x)/(1 - x^2) = x + 5*x^3/3! + 101*x^5/5! + 4241*x^7/7! + ....
a(n) = 2*n*(2*n + 1)*a(n-1) + (-1)^n with a(0) = 1.
a(n) = (4*n^2 + 2*n - 1)*a(n-1) + (2*n-1)*(2*n-2)*a(n-2) with a(0) = 1, a(1) = 5.
The sequence b(n) := (2*n + 1)! also satisfies the second recurrence but with b(0) = 1, b(1) = 6. This leads to the continued fraction representation a(n) = (2*n + 1)!*(1 - 1/(6 + 6/(19 + 20/(41 + ... + (2*n - 1)*(2*n - 2)/(4*n^2 + 2*n - 1) )))) for n >= 2. Taking the limit gives the continued fraction representation sin(1) = 1 - 1/(6 + 6/(19 + 20/(41 + ... + (2*n - 1)*(2*n - 2)/((4*n^2 + 2*n - 1) + ... )))). (End)
