FORMULA
|
Let h(x) = x*{floor(1/x) + (floor(1/x))^2} - floor(1/x). Let x = 1/2*(1 + sqrt(5)) - 1. Then a(1) = 1, a(2) = ceiling(1/x) and, for n >= 1, a(n+2) = floor(1/h^(n-1)(x))*{1 + floor(1/h^(n)(x))}.
Recurrence equations: For n >= 3, a(3*n) = 2. For n >= 4 we have a(3*n+2) = 2*a(3*n+1) - 2 and a(3*n+1) =2*(a(3*n-2) - 1)^2.
Put P(n) = product {k = 1..n} a(k). Then we have the Egyptian fraction series expansion sqrt(2) = sum {n = 1..inf} 1/P(n) = 1 + 1/2 + 1/(2*5) + 1/(2*5*8) + 1/(2*5*8*3) + 1/(2*5*8*3*4) + .... For n >= 2, the error made in truncating this series to n terms is less than the n-th term.
