Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
The value of this continued fraction is the ratio of two Bessel functions: BesselI(0,2)/BesselI(1,2) = A070910/A096789. Or, equivalently, to the ratio of the sums: Sum_{n>=0} 1/(n!n!) and Sum_{n>=0} n/(n!n!). - Mark Hudson (mrmarkhudson(AT)hotmail.com), Jan 31 2003
1.43312...=[1,2,3,4,5,...] = shape of a rectangle which partitions into n squares at stage n; i.e., this is an example of the match between the continued fraction of a number r and a rectangle having shape r. See A188640. - Clark Kimberling, Apr 09 2011
