dear sequence fans:
a question from a correspondent suggested these 2 sequences,
which need more terms:
%I A046946
%S A046946 1,3,44,311,377,688,710
%N A046946 Sin(n) decreaes monotonically to 0.
%O A046946 0,2
%K A046946 nonn,nice,more
%A A046946 njas
%D A046946 Suggested by a question from Alan Walker (Alan_Walker at sabre.com)
%Y A046947 Cf. A046947;
%I A046947
%S A046947 1,3,22,333,355
%N A046947 |Sin(n)| decreaes monotonically to 0.
%O A046947 0,2
%K A046947 nonn,nice,more
%A A046947 njas
%p A046947 Digits:=50; M:=10000; a:=[1]; R:=sin(1.); for n from 2 to M do t1:=evalf(sin(n)); if abs(t1)<R then R:
=abs(t1); a:=[op(a),n]; fi; od: a;
%Y A046947 Cf. A049946. See also A002485, which is closely related.
%D A046947 Suggested by a question from Alan Walker (Alan_Walker at sabre.com)
the second sequence is closely related to
the numerators of the continued
fraction quotients to Pi, which are:
s1 := [3, 22, 333, 355, 103993, 104348, 208341, 312689, 833719, 1146408, 4272943, 5419351, 80143857,
165707065, 245850922, 411557987, 1068966896, 2549491779]
for which sin( ) gives:
[.141120008059867222, -.00885130929040387592, -.00882116611388587701, -.0000301443533594884492,
-5 -5
-.0000191293357784237502, -.0000110150175842405569, .811431819503807721 10 , .290069938933211100 10 ,
-5 -6 -6 -7
.231291941645270150 10 , -.587779972881381232 10 , -.549579497810490801 10 , -.382004750708966019 10 ,
-7 -8 -8 -8
-.147728468179659086 10 , -.865478143496479273 10 , .611806538300111631 10 , .253671605196367648 10 ,
-8 -9
.104463327907376339 10 , .447449493816149707 10 ]
anyway, what i am writing about is to request that someone
compute some more sequences of this type. Namely,
the sequence of n's such that:
cos n falls monotoniaclly from cos(1) to 0
|cos(n)| """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
same thing for tan, sec, csc, cot, cosh, sinh, tanh, etc
then
same thing for
sin n rises monotonically from sin(1)
- and same for cos tan etc etc
Thanks!

PS it is possible some of these are already in the database,
though i don't think they are
