%N Decimal expansion of the real part of the continued fraction i/(Pi+i/(Pi+i/(...))).
%C Here, i is the imaginary unit sqrt(-1).
%C The c.f. of which this is the real part converges to one of the two solutions of the equation z*(Pi+z)=i. It is also the unique attractor of the complex mapping M(z)=i/(Pi+z). The other solution of the equation is an invariant point of M(z), but not its attractor. The imaginary part of this complex constant is in A263211.
%C Note also that when Pi and i are exchanged, the resulting c.f. Pi/(i+Pi/(i+Pi/(...))) does not converge, and the corresponding mapping has no attractor.
