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
