FORMULA
EXAMPLE
The constant t used to define this sequence is defined by
t = 1/[t] + 1/[t*(1+t)] + 1/[t*(1+t)*(2+t)] + 1/[t*(1+t)*(2+t)*(3+t)] + 1/[t*(1+t)*(2+t)*(3+t)*(4+t)] + 1/[t*(1+t)*(2+t)*(3+t)*(4+t)*(5+t)] + 1/[t*(1+t)*(2+t)*(3+t)*(4+t)*(5+t)*(6+t)] +...
where [x] is the floor function of x.
Thus, t is the sum of the infinite series
t = 1 + 1/3 + 1/12 + 1/53 + 1/291 + 1/1878 + 1/13975 + 1/117949 + 1/1113390 + 1/11623335 + 1/132966129 + 1/1654043412 + 1/22229656253 + 1/320987000444 + 1/4955905924999 + 1/81473034355102 + 1/1420855869195491 + 1/26199991898769875 + 1/509316957086997352 + 1/10410226994717110400 + 1/223190941584248205202 + 1/5008311999035018587226 + 1/117392752432115751942460 + 1/2869030095761224977541954 + 1/72986933627698300236793754 + 1/1929744200916184847850410278 + 1/52951379113886857052967930528 + 1/1505915222058143312106047567382 + 1/44333518468215829832469997051113 + 1/1349493882731900596771978592981358 +...+ 1/a(n) +...
