FORMULA

E.g.f.: 2/(exp(-x)+cos(x)-sin(x)) = 1/W(0) with continued fraction

W(k) = 1+(x^(2*k))/(f+f*x/(4*k+1-x-(4*k+1)*b/R)) where R := x^(2*k)+b-(x^(4*k+1))/(c+(x^(2*k+1))+x*c/T); T := 4*k+3-x-(4*k+3)*d/(d+(x^(2*k+1))/W(k+1));

f:=(4*k)!/(2*k)!; b:=(4*k+1)!/(2*k+1)!; c:=(4*k+2)!/(2*k+1)!; d:=(4*k+3)!/(2*k+2)!. - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 30 2011
