COMMENTS

Denominators are under A120781.

From the expansion of sqrt(2)/2 = sqrt(1-1/2) = 1-(1/4)*sum(C(k)/8^k,k=0..infinity) one has r:=limit(r(n),n to infinity)= 2*(2 - sqrt(2)) = 1.171572875..., with the partial sums r(n) defined below.

LINKS

FORMULA

a(n)=numerator(r(n)), with the rationals r(n):=sum(C(k)/8^k,k=0..n) with C(k):=A000108(k) (Catalan numbers). Rationals r(n) are taken in lowest terms.

EXAMPLE

Rationals r(n): [1, 9/8, 37/32, 597/512, 2395/2048, 19181/16384,

76757/65536, 2456653/2097152,...].
