Comments

A270121 is defined by the following recurrence: if A270121(n)=x(n) then x(n+1)*x(n-1)=x(n)^2*(1+n*x(n)) for n>=1, with x(1)=7, x(2)=112; and for A270124, if A270124(n)=y(n) then y(0)=2 and y(n)=x(n+1)/x(n) for n>=1. Both of these sequences appear in the continued fraction expansion of this number, which is transcendental.
