Simple continued fraction expansion of product {k >= 0} (1 - 2*(N - sqrt(N^2-1))^(4*k+3))/(1 - 2*(N - sqrt(N^2-1))^(4*k+1)) at N = 5. For other cases see A221075 (N = 2), A221193 (N = 3) and A221194 (N = 5).

Denoting the present sequence by [1, c(1), 1, c(2), 1, c(3), 1, ...] then for n >= 0 the sequence [1, c(2*n+1), 1, c(2*(2*n+1)), 1, c(3*(2*n+1)), 1, ...] gives the simple continued fraction expansion of product {k >= 0} (1 - 2*((5 - sqrt(24))^(2*n+1))^(4*k+3))/(1 - 2*((5 - sqrt(24))^(2*n+1))^(4*k+1)).

Formula

a(4*n-1) = (5 + sqrt(24))^(2*n) + (5 - sqrt(24))^(2*n) - 2;

a(4*n+1) = 1/2*((5 + sqrt(24))^(2*n+1) + (5 - sqrt(24))^(2*n+1)) - 2; a(2*n) = 1.

Example

Product {k >= 0} (1 - 2*(5 - sqrt(24))^(4*k+3))/(1 - 2*(5 - sqrt(24))^(4*k+1)) = 1.25063 93996 76216 17350 ... = 1 + 1/(3 + 1/(1 + 1/(96 + 1/(1 + 1/(483 + ...))))).
