"{m->infinity}"]


First, 

does the limit, as m -> oo, of the geometric-average of the first m terms 
of this sequence approach Khinchtine's constant??

--

Second,

If r_1 = x = any positive real,

and we let limit(m->oo} r_m = R(x),

then R(x) has a minimum at some particular x between 0 and 1.

Let this x be X.

And let Y = R(X).

What are the simple(ie.with positive integer terms) continued-fraction 
representations of X and Y?

And, the obvious question, do the geometric-averages of X's and Y's 
simple CF terms approach Khinchtine's constant??

Thanks,
