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”).

Decimal expansion of the smallest positive root of the equation J_0(t)*I_1(t)+I_0(t)*J_1(t) = 0 (with I_0, I_1, J_0 and J_1, Bessel functions).
