A305879 Number of binary places to which n-th convergent of continued fraction expansion of Pi matches the correct value. 3

%I #34 Nov 21 2019 00:11:04

%S 2,8,13,21,28,31,28,34,32,38,40,44,47,51,52,54,57,60,62,64,70,78,80,

%T 81,84,91,94,100,103,104,107,116,121,132,133,136,133,144,148,152,148,

%U 156,158,165,167,170,173,176,179,182

%N Number of binary places to which n-th convergent of continued fraction expansion of Pi matches the correct value.

%C For the similar case of number of correct decimal places see A084407.

%C The denominator of the k-th convergent obtained from a continued fraction satisfying the Gauss-Kuzmin distribution will tend to exp(k*A100199), A100199 being the inverse of Lévy's constant; the error between the k-th convergent and the constant itself tends to exp(-2*k*A100199), or in binary digits 2*k*A100199/log(2) bits after the binary point.

%C The sequence for quaternary digits is obtained by floor(a(n)/2), the sequence for octal digits is obtained by floor(a(n)/3), the sequence for hexadecimal digits is obtained by floor(a(n)/4).

%F Lim {n -> oo} (a(n)/n) = 2*log(A086702)/log(2) = 2*A100199/log(2) = 2*A305607.

%e Pi = 11.0010010000111111...

%e n=1: 3/1 = 11.000... so a(1) = 2

%e n=2: 22/7 = 11.001001001... so a(2) = 8

%e n=3: 333/106 = 11.00100100001110... so a(3) = 13

%Y Cf. A084407, A086702, A100199, A305607.
