COMMENTS

The pentanacci constant P is the limit as n -> infinity of the ratio of Pentanacci(n+1)/Pentanacci(n) = A001591(n+1)/A001591(n), which is the principal root of x^5-x^4-x^3-x^2-x-1 = 0. Note that we have: P + P^-5 = 2.

The pentanacci constant corresponds to the Golden Section in a fivepartite division 1 = u_1 + u_2 + u_3 + u_4 + u_5 of a unit line segment, i.e. if 1/u_1 = u_1/u_2 = u_2/u_3 = u_3/u_4 + u_4/u_5 = c, c is the pentanacci constant. - Seppo Mustonen, Apr 19 2005

The other 4 roots of the polynomial 1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4-x^5 are the two complex-conjugated pairs -0.6783507129699967... +- i * 0.458536187273144499.. and 0.1953765946472540452... +- i * 0.848853640546245551858... [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Oct 25 2008]
