A338878 Numerators in a set of expansions of the single-term Machin-like formula for Pi. 2

%I #98 Dec 23 2020 08:42:19

%S 1,1,1,1,3,1,1,2,2,1,1,5,5,5,1,1,3,1,1,3,1,1,7,7,7,7,7,1,1,4,4,2,2,4,

%N Numerators in a set of expansions of the single-term Machin-like formula for Pi.

%C Denominators are A338879.

%C Abrarov et al. (see section LINKS) give an identity arctan(n*x) = Sum_{m=1..n} arctan(x/(1 + (m-1)*m*x^2)). At x=1/n this identity provides set of expansions of the single-term Machin-like formula for Pi in form Pi/4 = arctan(1) = Sum_{m=1..n} arctan(n/((m-1)*m + n^2)). For m = n - k + 1 at k=1..n the fractions n/((m-1)*m + n^2) constitute the triangle with rows in ascending order:

%C k= 1 2 3 4 5 6

%C n=1: 1;

%C n=2: 1/3, 1/2;

%C n=3: 1/5, 3/11, 1/3;

%C n=4: 1/7, 2/11, 2/9, 1/4;

%C n=5: 1/9, 5/37, 5/31, 5/27, 1/5;

%C n=6: 1/11, 3/28, 1/8, 1/7, 3/19, 1/6;

%C Section EXAMPLE shows the corresponding triangle T(n,k) with numerators. This triangle T(n,k) possesses a sifting property for primes. In particular, in a row of kind {1,p,p,p,...,p,p,1} the integer p must be a prime and n = p except the case n = 4 when prime p = 2.

%F T(n,k) = numerator(n/((n-k)*(n-k+1) + n^2)) = n/gcd(n,k*(k-1)), for n>=1 and 1 <= k <= n.

%F Pi/4 = Sum_{k=1..n} arctan(T(n,k) / A338879(n,k)).

%e Triangle T(n,k) begins:

%e k= 1 2 3 4 5 6

%e n=1: 1;

%e n=2: 1, 1;

%e n=3: 1, 3, 1;

%e n=4: 1, 2, 2, 1;

%e n=5: 1, 5, 5, 5, 1;

%e n=6: 1, 3, 1, 1, 3, 1;

%e For example, for row n = 3 the corresponding expansion formula is Pi/4 = arctan(1/5) + arctan(3/11) + arctan(1/3) and the numerators are 1,3,1.

%e At n = 3, n = 4 and n = 5 the rows are {1,3,1}, {1,2,2,1} and {1,5,5,5,1} and the primes are 3, 2 and 5, respectively.
